Man awaits drugs trial
NZPA Melbourne Darryl Leigh Sorby, allegedly linked to the head of the “Mr Asia” drug syndicate, was yesterday in custody awaiting trial in the Supreme Court. A magistrate, Mr Bryan Clothier, on Thursday committed Sorby, aged 32, of Bribie Island in Queensland,
to stand trial on heroin charges on August 1. Sorby, who has not entered pleas to seven counts of conspiring to traffic in heroin and 15 counts of possessing heroin between 1978 and 1980, was refused bail. At the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court preliminary hearing a woman whose
name was suppressed said that Sorby had visited her house in New Zealand with Terrence Clark, head of the “Mr Asia” syndicate. The woman said Sorby had also brought Douglas and Isobel Wilson whose bodies were later found in a shallow grave on Victoria’s Momington Peninsula in 1979.
