British mum facing firing squad in Bali over cocaine found in Angel Delight claims she was 'framed'

A trio of British nationals are on trial in Indonesia over charges that they attempted to smuggle cocaine into Bali disguised in packets of Angel Delight, with one insisting she was 'framed'.

Jonathan Collyer, 38 and Lisa Stocker, 39 were arrested by authorities on 1 February after customs officers stopped them at an X-ray machine.

Prosecutors said they found suspicious items in the Brits luggage disguised as packets of food, and that tests found 17 sachets of Angel Delight contained 993.56 grams of cocaine worth about £272,000.

Two days later, 31-year-old Phineas Float was also arrested at a police set-up where Collyer and Stocker handed goods to him in a hotel car park.

The prosecution claims that the drugs were brought to Indonesia from England, with the two Brits travelling through Doha International Airport in Qatar.

According to The Sun, mum-of-three Stocker has claimed that she was 'framed' and the packets of Angel Delight did not belong to her.

They report that she told a court in Bali: "The packages were not mine, but someone else's. I was framed."

She claimed that she was given the packets by a friend in the UK and had twice previously brought things to Bali for him, leaving her 'shocked after finding out it was cocaine'.

Collyer said he received no payment for the trip across the world and was told by this man that the package he was asked to bring 'contained snacks, such as chocolate, pudding and chips' which would be picked up by someone when they arrived in Bali.

Float likewise claimed to the court that he got a message from this other man to pick up the package and 'did not know it was cocaine'.

If found guilty, then all three British nationals could be sentenced to death under Indonesia's strict laws on drug smuggling, and a firing squad is sometimes used to execute those on death row.

British grandmother Lindsay Sandiford has been on death row in Indonesia since 2013 after she was caught smuggling £1.6 million worth of cocaine into the country. She was sentenced to death by firing squad even though prosecutors recommended a more lenient punishment and her appeals against her sentence have been rejected.

The last time someone was executed in Indonesia was in July 2016, but since then the country has continued to hand out the death penalty.

Around 530 people are on death row in the country, including 96 foreigners, most of whom were sentenced for drug related offences.

The trial of Collyer, Stocker and Float continues on 17 June.
