A Supreme Court jury yesterday went through WhatsApp messages where a Canadian woman accused of smuggling drugs set up a trip to Bermuda with several others.

Detective Sergeant Courtney Downey, a digital forensic expert, told the court that Sandra Marrero-Guzman, 37, was offered $7,000 for “a quick trip to the islands”.

She was later caught at LF Wade International Airport with 12,876.4 grams of cannabis in 29 heat-sealed packages in her suitcase.

Ms Marrero-Guzman denied conspiring to bring cannabis into Bermuda and possessing cannabis with intent to supply on June 20 last year.

Jurors heard police seized two pink iPhones from Ms Marrero-Guzman that were forensically examined.

Continuing with his testimony from Tuesday, Mr Downey said she met with a contact named “Anton” for drinks to discuss a proposal for a “job” that would have Ms Marrero-Guzman out of the country for seven to ten days.

Ms Marrero-Guzman showed concerns over the following months, such as when she told Anton that she was unsure if she could “trust it” because she had been “ripped off” recently.

He wrote to her: “I know nothing is going to go wrong. And there’s no way you can run off with my stuff, so I trust it.”

Ms Marrero-Guzman wrote that she was worried about herself, adding: “I’m not trying to get caught and lose my passport or set up or kidnapped. Idk. A friend said this is a terrible idea.”

Ms Marrero-Guzman later receives messages about finalising plane tickets and sent the contact a photograph of her passport.

Anton also asks her to confirm the “EMT,” or “electronic money transfers,” according to Mr Downey, which she does.

He also sends her a voice note totalling 45 seconds explaining that, although the trip is listed for a week, he could rebook the flight for four days.

On June 19, Anton contacted Ms Marrero-Guzman on WhatsApp and asked her to send a picture of what she planned to wear for her flight.

She sent him a picture of herself in a white sweatshirt and sweatpants.

The jury heard earlier that 57 fingerprints were found on the packages of drugs in the suitcase, but none of them matched Ms Marrero-Guzman’s.

The trial continues.
