Drug dealer was threatened and 'a victim of modern slavery'
A DRUG dealer who sold crack cocaine and heroin to an undercover police officer acted out of fear and was a victim of modern slavery, a court heard.
Kenneth Blinkho, 33, has remained in prison for 16 months awaiting sentence after he admitted supplying Class A drugs to a police officer.
Ipswich Crown Court heard the undercover officer acquired the telephone number of a drugs line in October 2019.
He met with Blinkho on two separate days in Clacton, purchasing heroin and cocaine.
Barry Gilbert, mitigating in court yesterday, said his client had remained locked up at HMP Norwich for an “awfully long time”
