The sons of Gold Coast millionaire businessman Ken Lacey will face drug charges next month, to allow time for an appeal against their sentence and conviction for torture to be heard.

Dionne Lacey, 23, and Jade Lacey, 27, had their drug charges mentioned in the Supreme Court in Brisbane on Friday.

They have been charged with trafficking ecstasy, cocaine and cannabis sativa, between January 2006 and May 2007.

The crown sought a four-week adjournment for the case until the brothers’ appeal for the unrelated torture matter is dealt with.

Justice Glenn Martin granted the adjournment and set the matter aside for review on May 27.

The Laceys were sentenced in August last year for torturing Owen Colin Matthews, after believing he had stolen 500 ecstasy pills.

In a bid to extort money, they took Mr Matthews to a deserted island on the Gold Coast in 2007, forcing him to dig his own grave and shooting him in the hand before letting him go.

No date has yet been set for their appeal against their conviction and sentence, and the brothers remain in custody.
