A British mum-of-three who could face the death penalty after being accused of smuggling hundreds of thousands dollars of cocaine into Bali.

Lisa Stocker, who hails from East Sussex, was arrested alongside her partner, Jon Collyer, at Bali's international airport earlier this year (1 February).

The pair, both 39, had travelled from the UK through Qatar and were stopped in Bali after a routine X-ray at the airport alerted officials to the suspicious packages.

They first appeared in court alongside another individual, 31-year-old Phineas Float who is also from East Sussex, who has been accused of receiving the packages in an airport hotel on February 3.

She also claimed that a friend gave her the 17 packets of Angel Delight in the UK, which actually contained 992mg of cocaine, and asked her to take them to Bali, adding: "Jon and I had been to Bali twice carrying packages from [him].

"I was shocked after finding out it was cocaine."

Collyer said he paid for the Bali holiday himself, saying of the third man: "[He] told me the package contained snacks, such as chocolate, pudding and chips.”

However, lead prosecutor Made Umbara said the man gave Collyer £2,130 to pay for the couple’s accommodation and flights.

On Tuesday this week (15 July), she reiterated such sentiments, maintaining she had no idea that her luggage was full of narcotics and was seen breaking down in tears as she issued an apology.

Her husband Collyer admitted what they did was 'very stupid' as he assured Judge Heriyanti: "I won't do it again."

Stocker has said in a heartbreaking five-word statement she 'won't trust people so easily' ever again.

Float, however, stayed quiet after previously being involved in a heated altercation during a previous hearing.

Last month, while walking to the courtroom for the first day of his trial he yelled at a journalist to 'f**k off'.

All three are set to receive their sentences next week and, under strict Indonesian drug laws, they could face the death penalty.

However, their lawyer Sheiny Pangkahila previously said that the trio are more likely to be hit with decades in prison - possibly between 15 to 20 years.

Lead prosecutor, Umbara, however, has now asked the judge to be lenient and 'sentence the defendants to one years in prison' each, minus the time already served.
