Teen sentenced for ketamine
A 16-year-old boy was sentenced in Fanling Court to a detention centre for selling HK$100 of ketamine to five girls at Sheung Shui Government Secondary School. He earlier pleaded guilty to drug trafficking in January or February. Magistrate Don So Man-lung said the case was serious but noted it involved only a small amount of ketamine. He also noted that the boy had done poorly in his studies, left school after Form One, and was from a broken home.
