A DRUG dealer suspected of hiding a stash up his bottom for 19 days was dubbed a “medical marvel” by his lawyers.

Kevin Wayou, 23, passed “nothing of substance” despite eating and drinking as normal while held by police. No drugs were spotted when he did finally have a poo.

But Wayou eventually admitted having cocaine and heroin with intent to supply when the case reached court.

Wayou, of Portsmouth, had been arrested in a raid in Banbury, Oxon, where £3,000 was hidden in a washing machine.

Details emerged when a judge cut his sentence from five years to four on appeal.

In March a drug suspect in Brixton, South London, was released without charge amid fears for his health after he went an eye-watering 47 days without a poo.
