Beijing: Chinese prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for an Australian jockey caught in an alleged attempt to smuggle more than three kilograms of crystal methamphetamine into Australia from Guangzhou. Anthony Roger Bannister, 43, was stopped from boarding his China Southern flight to Sydney on March 11 last year after customs officers detected the drugs, also known as ice, in envelopes stuffed in eight ladies' handbags contained in his luggage.
