Three Brits could be sentenced with the death penalty after being caught smuggling drugs stashed into packets of the popular dessert, Angel Delight.

Jonathan Christopher Collyer, 28, and Lisa Ellen Stocker, 29, were arrested in Bali on February 1 after they tried to pass by the X-ray machine at the airport, only to be stopped. According

to reports, suspicious items were detected in their luggage disguised as food packages, said prosecutor I Made Dipa Umbara. Now, they're facing the death penalty.

Mr Umbara told the District Court in Denpasar that a lab test result confirmed that 10 sachets of Angel Delight powdered dessert mix in Collyer's luggage combined with seven similar sachets

in his partner's suitcase contained 993.56 grams of cocaine, worth an estimated six billion rupiah (£272,000).

Just two days after that, another man, Phineas Ambrose Float, 31, was arrested after a controlled delivery set up by police in which the other two suspects handed the drug to him in the

parking area of a hotel in Denpasar.

He is being tried separately. The drugs were flown into Indonesia from England with a transit in the Doha international airport in Qatar, Mr Umbara said.

The group had previously got past Indonesian authorities with drugs twice before. However, this time they were caught on their third attempt. This was detailed by Ponco Indriyo, the deputy

director of the Bali Police Narcotics Unit, in a news conference.

The charges against the group were read out in court before a panel of three judges adjourned the trial until June 10 - when the court will hear witness testimony.

The Ministry of Immigration and Corrections' data collection state around 530 people, including 96 foreigners, are on death row in Indonesia, mostly for drug-related crimes. This could be

the fate waiting for the three Brits.

This comes shortly after an influx of Brits have been caught smuggling drugs from Asia to distribute across Europe. Bella May Culley, 18, sparked a massive international search operation in

early May after she was reported missing while she was believed to be holidaying in Thailand.

However, it was later revealed that the teen, from Billingham, County Durham, had been arrested 4,000 miles away on drug offences in Georgia, allegedly carrying 30 pounds (14kg) of cannabis

into the ex-Soviet nation.

And recently 21-year-old Charlotte Lee May, from Coulsdon, south London, was arrested in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo after police discovered 46 kg of 'Kush' - a synthetic strain of

cannabis - in her suitcase.
