British grandmother Lindsay Sandiford has lost her appeal against her death sentence in Bali for smuggling £1.6 million worth of cocaine in to the Indonesian island.
A spokesman for Bali High Court announced that the court had rejected an appeal from the 56-year-old from Cheltenham.She was convicted by a district court in January and sentenced to face a firing squad.
The court spokesman said the verdict was decided last week and Sandiford has 14 days to appeal to the national Supreme Court.Drugs mule Sandiford was caught smuggling cocaine in the lining of a suitcase from Bangkok to the island last year.
She got a death sentence despite taking part in a sting after her arrest which resulted in the arrest and conviction of the smuggling plot’s alleged masterminds, who got lighter sentences.
