British 'cocaine smugglers' now face the DEATH penalty in Bali
Share this @internewscast.com

Two Britons have been arrested on the island of Bali for allegedly trying to smuggle in 1.3kg of cocaine. 

Kial Robinson, 29, and Piran Ezra Wilkinson, 48, both from Chichester, in West Sussex, are currently being held by Bali’s Narcotic Agency.  

According to documents submitted to Companies House, Robinson, the proprietor of a landscape gardening business, was detained after being intercepted at Bali’s International Airport with a package purportedly containing cocaine in his backpack. 

The Daily Mail understands he boarded a Turkish Airlines flight from Barcelona and arrived on the island on September 3. 

He asserted that he was offered $10,000 to distribute the drugs, and was instructed to deliver them to someone at a villa in Mengwi, Badung, near Canggu, according to sources. 

Wilkinson, who is listed on Companies House as a property manager, was arrested at a villa in the early hours of September 4. 

On Monday there was no answer when The Daily Mail visited the £320,000 semi-detached house where Robinson’s gardening business is registered.  

In Indonesia, convicted drug traffickers, especially those in possession of substantial amounts, have previously faced execution by firing squad, including foreign nationals. For large quantities that don’t warrant the death penalty, a life sentence is commonly imposed.

The Agency’s spokesperson, Made Dwi Saputra, only confirmed that two British nationals had been arrested. 

He said the arrest will officially be announced in a press conference on Tuesday.

‘On Tuesday, we will carry out a modest ceremony to destroy some narcotic evidence, as well as a press release on several cases,’ Made Dwi said.

A Foreign Office representative informed The Daily Mail: ‘We are aware of two British nationals detained in Bali. We continue to provide consular support for both and are maintaining contact with local authorities.’

In July, three Brits initially warned they could face the death penalty for concealing drugs in Angel Delight packets while entering Bali were instead given just a one-year prison term. 

The Indonesian court sentenced the three British nationals, all from Hastings and St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex, to 12-month prison terms, despite the drug-running allegations on the resort island. 

Jonathan Christopher Collyer, 38, and Lisa Ellen Stocker, 39, were arrested on February 1 after being stopped at Bali’s international airport with 17 packages of cocaine that weighed nearly a kilogram, according to public court records.

They appeared in court alongside Phineas Ambrose Float, 31, who was allegedly due to receive the packages from them and was arrested a few days later in February.

The trio appeared in distinctive white and red prison uniforms before a panel of judges at Denpasar District Court.

Presiding judge Heriyanti declared that all three suspects had violated article 131 of Indonesian Narcotic law – but said he was reducing the sentence because they had admitted their offences and had behaved ‘politely’.

All three defendants stated that they accepted the verdict and would not file an appeal. The time served since their arrest in February will count towards their sentence, meaning they should be released early next year.
