British woman arrested for drug offences in Sri Lanka 'trying best' despite circumstances | ITV News
A 21-year-old woman from South London has appeared in court in Sri Lanka over drug related offences.
Charlotte May Lee was arrested at the country’s main international airport in May after police allegedly found £1.2 million worth of Kush – a type of cannabis – in her luggage, with customs describing it as their largest drug seizure to date.
Ms Lee had been travelling from Thailand, and insists the drugs were planted. The former flight attendant could face 25 years in prison if found guilty.
