Relatives of a fishing-loving British pensioner allegedly found with £200,000 of meth in Chile have claimed the 79-year-old lost his life savings after being scammed.
William 'Billy Boy' Eastment faces dying behind bars after police intercepted him at Santiago Airport on May 18 - claiming he was carrying the class A drug.
He arrived on a flight from Cancun and was booked to travel to Sydney in Australia the following day having been allegedly promised £4,000 by a Mexican gang to smuggle the suitcase.
But now, Eastment's younger sister, Jennifer, 78, has spoken out saying the OAP is 'just so gullible' and 'he's not a bad person'.
It comes as it was revealed he was known by neighbours in his home village of Milborne Port, Somerset, as quiet and 'just a simple pensioner'.
