Three Britons who were arrested in Bali over an alleged plot to smuggle £300,000 of cocaine have appeared in court.

Couple Jon Collyer, 38, and Lisa Stocker, 39, were arrested at Bali's international airport in February after being caught with 994g of cocaine stashed inside sachets of Angel Delight powdered dessert mix, according to Balinese authorities.

They appeared in court in Bali today alongside Phineas Float, 31, who was allegedly due to receive the packages and was arrested a few days later.

All three defendants, who are from Hastings and St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex, could face the death penalty if convicted of serious drugs charges.

Convicted drug traffickers, especially those caught with large quantities, have in the past been executed by firing squad in Indonesia - including foreign nationals.
