How to read this record
Headline names a Nigerian purported romance scammer linked to Donna Nelson’s Japan drug conviction; short description names59-year-old grandmother and Kelly. Retain alleged drug-transport extension and conviction context, not proof Kelly’s true nationality, voluntary guilt or exact drug quantity. Named case requires comparison with preserved family. Drug transport involves a person claiming romantic victimization who is also a participant or defendant. Use the existing participant_claiming_victimization role; romantic_target is not a codebook value. This does not imply knowing intent, proven coercion or innocence.

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
Perth grandmother ends appeal bid over Japan drug smuggling
DonnaNelson’s drug-conviction account connects to her abandoned final appeal avenue. The separately retained original ABC reporter/family/court account supplies the same-person identity and distinguishes the earlier conviction from later appeal stages. No source observation date is assigned to the act, and the sparse original paragraphs retain their own evidence limits.
