Lindsay Sandiford, 56, from Gloucestershire, was behind bars today,
above centre, contemplating her fate today after being sentenced to
death by firing squad in Indonesia for attempting to bring in 5kg of the
Class A drug on a flight from Thailand. State prosecutors had called
for the housewife to be jailed for 15 years but she gasped along with
the whole courtroom, right, when she was told she would be put to death
for her crime. She was arrested last May with three other Britons.
Julian Ponder, 43, could be handed a death sentence as early as tomorrow
but his partner Rachel Dougall, 39, and other accomplice Paul Beales,
also 39, were given lenient jail sentences last month. Sandiford,
pictured left in her forties, had said she was forced to smuggle the
cocaine because her childen were threatened, and will appeal against the
sentence.
