Iwuchukwu Amara Tochi

Iwuchukwu Amara Tochi was hanged just before dawn on 26 January 2007. He had been caught with 727 grams of heroin in the transit area of Changi airport 2 years ago we gloat over the mules that we capture. Once caught, we put them on a conveyor belt to the hangman's rope. With the mandatory death penalty, there's no room for mitigation; we aren't able to offer them a reduced sentence in return for information that might lead to the capture of the drug lord. Why should they help law enforcers when they're going to be hanged anyway?
