A young British former flight attendant accused of smuggling £1.2 million of super-strength cannabis into Sri Lanka was in tears today as she appeared in a packed court.
Charlotte May Lee, 21, from Coulsdon, south London, was arrested in Colombo after police discovered 46 kg of 'Kush' - a synthetic strain of cannabis - in her suitcase.
She had just arrived in the Sri Lankan capital on a flight from Bangkok in Thailand. She was arrested at Bandaranaike Airport and taken into custody on Monday, May 11.
Today Charlotte was filmed in a white dress with her hands behind her back being escorted to a prison van by police outside the court building in Colombo.
She was visibly upset and tearful when she appeared in the courtroom.
