A British man who snorted cocaine off Pablo Escobar's grave and vowed 'never to return' to Colombia after getting in a brawl with local cartels has been put behind bars for drug dealing. Steven Semmens and four other cocaine conspirators were sentenced to more than 52 years between them in prison for their involvement in selling the Class A drug.
Swansea Crown Court heard that Semmens and the other defendants were connected with trafficking large quantities of cocaine into South Wales. Semmens was also previously filmed spilling cocaine on the gravestone of infamous drug lord, Pablo Escobar while on a trip to South America in 2018.
The defendant said that he had carried out the act as part of a bet but he didn't think things would go as far as they did as his barrister told the court that Semmens' disrespectful actions had not gone down well with some Colombian criminals. Semmens and another defendant Shane White had planned to import kilos of cocaine to the UK from South America but the court heard that not a single gram successfully arrived and there was 'something almost comical about their ineptitude'.
Another defendant, Swansea plumber Andrew Botto had been using a shipping container hidden behind camouflage netting and fencing just yards away from a busy road as a base for his independent cocaine-dealing business. Police found a 1kg block of high-purity cocaine in a cool bag when they forced entry to the locked unit in May last year along with bags, weighing scales and disposable gloves.
Botto was found to have more than £2,000 cash in his trouser pockets when he was arrested later that day. Semmens - also known as Steven Pascoe, 39, of Port Talbot; Botto, 34, of Swansea; White, 34, of Port Talbot; and Ieuan Emlyn

Eddie Redmayne turned in one of the subtler but ultimately shocking serial killer portrayals, starring with Jessica Chastain in the Tobias Lindholm-directed Netflix drama The Good Nurse. In the movie based on actual events, Redmayne’s Charlie Cullen goes from a non-descript night nurse who becomes a lifesaving friend to co-worker Amy Loughren (Jessica Chastain), until she realized her pal might be killing patients who should be recovering. He would ultimately confess to killing about 40 people, and drew 18 executive life sentences, while the hospital administrators who quietly dismissed him even though they had their suspicions were not punished for the cover-up.
