A Westcountry grandmother living on death row in a Bali prison has one final chilling wish as she awaits execution by firing squad for drug smuggling. Lindsay Sandiford has been in Kerobokan Prison for almost a decade, having been arrested in 2013 for trying to smuggle £1.6 million worth of cocaine into Indonesia.
She was arrested as she arrived in Bali from Bangkok on May 19, 2012 after cocaine was found in her luggage. The former legal secretary, who had worked in management for many years at a law firm in Cheltenham, originally insisted she had been forced to carry the Class A drugs by a criminal gang who had threatened to hurt her family if she refused, reports the Mirror.
In Indonesia, the punishment for this crime is brutal and terrifying - death by firing squad. Prisoners can choose to sit or stand before armed soldiers take their shots, aiming for the heart. If a prisoner manages to survive, the commander then shoots them in the head, reports Gloucestershire Live.
