Convicted drug smuggler marries woman he met while doing 10 years in Caribbean jail

A convicted drug smuggler has married a woman he met while doing 10 years in a Caribbean prison.

Paul Cairns was jailed in the Dominican Republic for his part in a £500,000 cocaine haul found at the island airport in 2009. He had bragged about the lax prison system behind bars on the island before his release in 2019, when he returned to Scotland.

The 35-year-old from Gourock, who fathered a child behind bars, tied the knot to Dominican native Carmen Rosa, with Daniel Squires as his best man, who was also convicted of being part of the drug smuggling operation and served time alongside Cairns on the island, the Daily Record reports.
