New images of £1,200,000 cannabis haul Charlotte May Lee 'didn't know was in suitcase'

Huge quantities of kush,a synthetic form of cannabis,were found in two large suitcases

New photos have revealed a massive haul of drugs that a former flight attendant denies she was carrying in two large suitcases.

Charlotte May Lee,21,from south London,was arrested last week on suspicion of smuggling 46kg of cannabis into Sri Lanka from Thailand.

A set of new photos obtained by the Daily Mail shows her dressed all in white at Colombo’s Police Narcotic Unit just after her arrest.

The other photos show the large amount of Kush – a synthetic form of cannabis – found in two black suitcases.

She was working on a booze cruise in Thailand but decided to go to Sri Lanka for three weeks while she waited for her 30-day visa to renew.

She is being held behind bars at Negombo Prison and told the Daily Mail: ‘I had never seen them before.

‘I didn’t expect it at all when they pulled me over at the airport. I thought it was going to be filled with all my stuff.’

The prison where she could end up,Welikada Prison,has been described as ‘hell’,with rats scuttling around and maggots in food.

Charlotte also revealed that she has not eaten food in days because it is too spicy.

She said: ‘I am trying my best to stay positive because what else can you do?’

The 21-year-old also said she felt like she had ‘no human rights’ in the prison and that she was sleeping in a corridor with no beds or blankets.

She believes the drugs were planted and explained that they must have been put in her suitcase while she was on a night out.

The part-time beautician and former cabin crew worker for TUI had already packed her bags before her early flight,and that was when she claims they were put in her suitcase.

She said: ‘They must have planted it then…I know who did it.’

Her detention bears a similarity to Bella May Culley – who was arrested at an airport in Georgia for trying to smuggle 14kg of cannabis.

Both women had flown alone from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport,having reportedly travelled there to meet a mysterious male.

Both women are accused of being drug mules for organised crime gangs.

Bella also faces a hefty sentence in an intimidating foreign prison in Georgia – Prison No. 5.

Human rights groups have criticised the treatment of prisoners there,with a Human Rights Watch report finding it ‘severely overcrowded’.
