We have heard of stories where people fall from grace to grass in the blink of an eye.And today, being TBT and all, we take a look at one of the most famous cases of grass to grace, the infamous nabbing of a KQ airhostess, Priscilla Chemutai Kolongoi.
Priscilla enjoyed quite a lovely lifestyle as an air hostess before her life took a rapid nose dive from the skies to the gutters. This is after she was caught trying to smuggle heroin worth 28 million Kshs into the country from India on the fateful morning of March 25 2002.
The high-flying airhostess, was nabbed when she tried to wheel in the 33 packages and 2 sachets of the illegal drug after a obligatory check at customs.
A crime that promised a mandatory life sentence if she was found guilty, lucky for her the judge gave her 18 years along with a fine of Kshs 10 Million. She attempted to untangle herself from this mess but it only made things worse and he fine was raised to 83.4 Million. All this for a job that would have earned her around 210,000 Kshs which was quite a rip-off considering the street value of the drugs she was trying to smuggle in.
Now 13 years later Priscilla Chemutai Kolongoi is free thanks to her good conduct while in jail.
