Gang that flooded north-east with crack cocaine is smashed - Herald Scotland | News | Crime & Courts: "Gang members sentenced yesterday at the High Court in Edinburgh included Jela Fox, 28, who was already serving a seven-year sentence for dealing. He was given a further six months after admitting he continued to sell drugs while behind bars.
Fox’s younger brother Akil, 26, was jailed for six years and two months while Dean “Yogi” Slater and George “The Stripper” Taylor were given respectively seven years and one month and four years and nine months. All four had pled guilty earlier in October.
A jury at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday found three co-accused – Ramesh Kainth and Zimbabweans Mufudzi Munyawiri and Tineyi Mtara – guilty of being concerned in the supply of heroin and cocaine.
They will be sentenced on November 26 at the High Court in Glasgow.
Nichole Bowen, who also pled guilty earlier this month to being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, will be sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow in February. Heavily pregnant Bowen had been told she faced “a serious custodial sentence”.
But Temporary Judge William Dunlop said he would defer sentence on her for four months as “the prospect of a child being born in prison is not one that appeals to me very much”."
