A British tourist is facing the death penalty for allegedly attempting to smuggle a suitcase full of crystal meth out of Thailand.
George Wilson, 23, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, is said to have received 9.15kg of methamphetamine from another Briton at a hotel in the red-light area of Bangkok on Monday evening.
But vice squad cops are said to have been tipped off about the movements of the drugs gang. Officers swooped on the hotel room at Le Fenix on Sukhumvit Soi 11 and arrested George.
In the arrest video, George was heard telling police he had been in Thailand for 'two weeks'. When asked what is in the bag, he says 'I don't know'.
However, officers then open the case and look under a pair of flip-flops and a white towel to uncover 10 green foil bags of Chinese tea concealing methamphetamine.
