The suspect had also ingested 67 pellets of the illicit drug.
She was immediately placed under close observation, during which she excreted the ingested drug parcels over the course of four days. In her statement to authorities, she admitted that she had planned to swallow 70 pellets but managed only 67, opting to conceal the remaining three in her private part.
The total weight of the cocaine recovered from her body and belongings amounted to 2.523 kilograms.
