A former British flight attendant is facing charges after police say she smuggled synthetic drugs made of human bones.

Charlotte May Lee, aged 21, has been charged after being accused of trying to smuggle more than 100 pounds of a potent synthetic drug produced from human bones, according to Sri Lankan authorities.

The BBC News indicates that Lee was apprehended by police at Colombo’s Bandaranaike Airport recently. She allegedly had suitcases filled with the drug known as “kush.”

The New York Post reports that the drug came from West Africa and causes roughly a dozen deaths each week in Sierra Leone.

Lee reportedly claimed that someone planted the drugs in her luggage without her knowledge, her attorney, Sampath Perera, told the BBC.

In a statement given to Mail Online on Wednesday, she claimed she “had seen them [the drugs] before” and suggested that “someone must have planted it” while she was out for the night from her hotel in Bangkok.

“So I left my bags in the hotel room and headed for the night out. As they were already packed, I didn’t check them again in the morning.”

Lee had been working in Thailand, but her 30-day visa was close to expiration. While waiting for her visa renewal, she decided to fly to Sri Lanka for three hours, according to her lawyer.

Meanwhile, Sri Lankan police have alerted the public to a significant rise in the influx of drugs entering the country from Bangkok.

“Another passenger who had left Bangkok airport, almost at the same time, was arrested in another country. We arrested this lady [Lee] based on profiling,” a Sri Lanka customs officer told the BBC.

Lee faces a possible 25-year sentence if found guilty.
