A Brazilian kingpin and her gang are facing jail today after they were caught with the largest ever haul of chemsex drugs seized in the UK.  Suellen Miguez, 35, and her associates fuelled the underground chemsex trade through an elaborate network of moped riders and WhatsApp groups. Miguez was convicted alongside Isabella Braga Da Silva, 22, and her boyfriend Bernardo Salles, 27, who dubbed themselves a 'modern Bonnie and Clyde.'  The high-living dealers blew tens of thousands of pounds on designer goods, with more than £50,000 spent at shops including Prada, Louis Vuitton and Harrods. They also rented out properties through Airbnb to store drugs for a few days at a time to avoid detection. Customers were offered a 'menu of narcotics' to chose from, including cocaine, ecstasy and the chemsex drug GBL, with riders disguised as DHL deliverers dropping them off within 10 minutes of an order being made.

The lost billionaire crown prince of partying: Sultan of Brunei's son Prince Azim turned his back on Sandhurst to live a life surrounded by stars before his death at age 38, writes ROBERT HARDMAN

The crowds queuing up for the panto at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley, had never seen anything quite like it.  Into the car park growled one hefty, blacked-out limousine after another for what would turn out to be nothing less than a royal command performance. It was a few days before Christmas in 2008. Prince Azim of Brunei, then 26, was in London and wanted to take some of his younger siblings to a production of his favourite pantomime, Cinderella.  And if the only available show was in the capital’s Kentish suburbs, then the entire entourage would bypass the West End and head for Bromley. It was a typically impulsive but good-natured gesture by the gentle, party-loving second son of the fabulously wealthy Sultan of Brunei. But while Azim might often try to be the fun-loving Prince Charming figure on the celebrity circuits of London and Hollywood, this particular fairytale was not destined for a happy ending.  This week, it was announced that the Prince had passed away, unmarried, at
