Joshua Ravula and Yin Qing Qing have been further remanded into custody till 23rd October for their formal bail applications.

The two are charged with one count each of unlawful possession of illicit drugs and were arrested in Flagstaff last month.

They appeared before Magistrate Sufia Hamza this morning.

Qing Qing’s lawyer objected to the two week wait time saying they had filed yesterday as their client has been complaining about getting bitten by bed bugs in remand.
