However, prosecutors have said that it would be another four weeks before results of forensic tests on the £8 million haul of cocaine found on board the yacht Gin were completed. Lawyers for the four accused asked Magistrate Charles Pitto not to delay the next appearance longer than a week. The JEP gained access to Mr Collenette in prison to hear him protest his innocence. ‘I just worry about my parents more than anything. My mum has to have an operation next week and I really do spend more time worrying about how this will affect them than I do about the case,’ he said. He also wanted to make it absolutely clear that he is totally innocent of the charges of possession and importation of 216 kilos of cocaine with intent to supply.
