A pregnant British woman accused of smuggling heroin has been found guilty in Laos and sentenced to life in jail. Samantha Orobator, 20, from south London, was caught with 1.5lb (680g) of the drug at Wattay airport in the capital, Vientiane, last August.*
Her trial had been delayed while Laotian officials tried to find out how she became pregnant in prison.
She would have faced a mandatory death sentence, but the execution of pregnant prisoners is not allowed in Laos.
