Ivan Muzik, aged 53, and Joanne Marie Collister, aged 49, have been committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery.

Mr Muzik has entered a ‘no plea’ response to a joint charge of possessing cannabis with intent to supply, while Ms Callister has pleaded not guilty to the same allegation.

They will appear at the higher court on a date to be set.

Sara-Jayne Dodge, representing Mr Muzik, said that her client would likely be entering a guilty plea with a basis of plea.

Bail was granted for both parties in the sum of £500, with conditions that they live at their home address at Marathon Drive in Douglas, and not to leave the island without court consent.
