Early in the interrogation Narinesingh told Mink that she “would do anything” for her long distance boyfriend and considered him a “ten out of ten.”

I owe people money. It hasn’t been easy

She told Mink that before her arrest she made $30,000 a year cleaning houses, cooking and working as a nanny. She was also $20,000 in debt and had to borrow money from several friends to travel to see her boyfriend.

“I owe people money. It hasn’t been easy,” she told Mink.

At one point in the interrogation Mink told Narinesingh what he thought of her situation. He told her he figured she was a “kind-hearted” and hard working person who was struggling and “wanted to make a quick buck.”

“I’m 100 per cent sure I haven’t done anything wrong. I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be in this situation,” Narinesingh said as she remained firm in her denial of having any knowledge of the heroin.

Her face lit up when Mink informed her that experts were preparing to examine the packaging the heroin was wrapped in and that if her fingerprints were on it he would know she had been lying to him.

“Are we going to find your fingerprints in the packages?” Mink asked.

“No. I swear it. On my life. On my father’s life,” Narinesingh said.

The jury was told earlier in the week that the accused’s fingerprints weren’t even found on the two suitcases.

In the video Mink does not appear to be fully convinced that Narinesingh is telling him the truth. He appeared to suspect that while Narinesingh did not plan the smuggling operation she was at least aware of what she was trying to smuggle into Canada.
