British drug mules who ‘thought cocaine was Angel Delight' spared death penalty
Three British people who allegedly smuggled drugs into Bali have been spared the death penalty and were let off with a one-year sentence. Lisa Stocker, Jonathan Collyer and Phineas Float from East Sussex were stopped at Bali's international airport with 17 packages of cocaine in February. Stocker, who is a mum-of-three, and her partner Collyer had travelled together via Qatar while Float was accused of receiving the packages at an airport hotel. But Stocker broke down in tears and told the court she was tricked into carrying the drugs, with her friend telling her it was Angel Delight. Collyer admitted they were 'very stupid', and insisted they would not do it again. The trio faced the death penalty under Indonesia's strict drug laws, but judge Heriyanti said he was reducing their sentence because they all behaved 'politely'. He handed down a one-year sentence, with the group expected to be released in February. Convicted drug traffickers can be executed by firing squad in the country, and if they are spared the death penalty are often sentenced to life in prison. But the nation has not carried out an execution since 2016 and in the last few months has repatriated several foreign convicts of drug offences. Stocker had broken down in tears as she told the court she had been tricked into carrying the packages. Meanwhile Float got into a shouting match at a previous hearing, telling a journalist to 'f*** off' on the first day of his trial. Collyer's dad Julian said he was in 'deep shock' for his son, with whom he had only been in contact once in the last three weeks. He told MailOnline: 'I'm very, very worried as any father or parent would be.' More Trending Dean, a friend of Jon's said he was unaware the couple had travelled to Indonesia and said the situation was 'an absolute mess'. Several high profile foreign drug smugglers have been allowed to return home from Indonesia in recent months. Serge Atlaoui, who was sentenced to death for drug offences in 2007, was repatriated to France in February. Last December Philippine drug convict Mary Jane Veloso was returned to Manila after more than a decade on death row.

Brits who smuggled Angel Delight drugs into Bali sentenced to jail time
Lisa Stocker, Jon Collyer, and Phineas Float feared the death penalty. Three Brits who smuggled £300,000 worth of cocaine into Bali stuffed in packets of the Angel Delight were today given a last-minute reprieve and will be returned to the UK in months. Lisa Stocker, 39, partner, Jon Collyer, 39, and accomplice Phineas Float, 31, feared they could be executed under Indonesia's strict anti-drugs laws. Collyer and Stocker were arrested on February 1 after being stopped by customs at the X-ray machine at Bali's international airport. 992 grams of the Class A drug was found concealed across 10 sachets of Angel Delight in Collyer's luggage combined with 7 similar sachets in his partner's suitcase. The couple faced the death penalty and previously pleaded for freedom despite Indonesia's strict legislation. However, today a judge at Denpasar central court chose not to impose the death penalty after they admitted smuggling the narcotics into the island, reports the Mirror. Instead the drug mules and their accomplice were given a year in hell-hole prisons before they are likely booted out of the country. Given time served, the trio will likely be back in the UK by January. Mum-of-three Stocker remained silent when she was handed her sentence alongside her husband Collyer. Float was handed the same lenient sentence and will now spend his time in Bali's infamous Kerobokan Prison. The court heard they had agreed to take part in the plot for a "reward" of 500,000 Indonesia Rupiah - the same as just £22.50. "Always check what is in your bag before you travel,' Collyer told reporters when he left the court. The East Sussex pair, pleaded guilty to smuggling 922 grams of cocaine disguised in 10 packets of the popular dessert Angel Delight. Stocker and Collyer had travelled from the UK through Qatar and were arrested following a routine X-Ray bag search when they landed in Bali. Cops later arrested Phineas Ambrose Float, 31, after a controlled operation which saw the other two suspects hand the drugs to him at the Grand Mas Airport Hotel carpark in Denpasar. He is being tried separately. Police are said to have used the couple to lure Float by sending Collyer and Stocker to meet him in an airport car park - where the trio were due to meet for an exchange on February 3. The group managed to slip past Indonesian authorities twice before, but were caught on their third attempt, said Ponco Indriyo, the deputy director of the Bali Police Narcotics Unit.

In a previous court appearance, last week, Stocker issued a grovelling apology to the judge crying that she "won't trust people so easily again". The mum-of-three wept as she claimed to Judge Heriyanti that she had no idea what was in the dessert mix packets. She said: "I didn't know the packages were cocaine. I apologise. From now on I won't trust people so easily and will be more careful. Collyer, who comforted his wife throughout proceedings, uttered just five words and said: "I won't do it again." Float, who has previously served time in jail in the UK for armed robbery and drug-dealing, told journalists gathered to "f**k off" as he was led into the courtroom last week. He previously told the court "I was very stupid" and has spent months in Bali's notorious hell-hole Kerobokan prison. Last week he told the court: "I was very stupid to take the packages of cocaine. I regret it and apologise." Stocker previously claimed that she had been given the Angel Delight packages in the UK by a friend to bring to Bali. She claimed that she had been framed on the second day of their trial on June 10. She said: "Jon and I had been to Bali twice carrying packages from (this friend). I was shocked after finding out it was cocaine." Collyer meanwhile told the court that he had not been given money to go to Bali and that he paid the cost of flights and hotels himself. However, police prosecutor Made Umbara alleged that a man in the UK who allegedly gave Stocker and Collyer the cocaine, paid Collyer £2,130 to cover the cost of accommodation and flights from the UK to Bali. People found guilty of breaking Indonesia's strict drug laws typically face extremely harsh punishments, including lengthy prison sentences or, in some cases, execution by a firing squad. According to data by the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections', around 530 people, including 96 foreigners, are on death row in Indonesia, mostly for drug-related crimes. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime says the country is a major drug-smuggling hotspot despite having some of the strictest drug laws in the world - partly because international drug gangs target its young population.

Brits who smuggled Angel Delight drugs into Bali to spend just 6 months in jail
Three Brits who smuggled £300,000 worth of cocaine into Bali stuffed in packets of the Angel Delight have been handed a dramatic reprieve and jailed for just six months each.
