Acourt drug sentence

-

A MAN who was suspected in the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence has been jailed for nine years for heading a £3 million drugs plot.

Jamie Acourt, 42, from Eltham, south-east London, pleaded guilty at Kingston Crown Court to being a kingpin in the conspiracy to sell cannabis.

His 43-year-old brother Neil has already been jailed for more than six years over the scheme which moved about 750kg of the drug with an estimated street value of around £3 million.
