A BRITISH backpacker who claims she was tricked into smuggling cannabis
out of India has been jailed for ten years in a hell-hole prison.

Daisy Angus, 26, protested her innocence and sobbed in the dock as she
was sentenced.

An Israeli man she claimed conned her into carrying a suitcase full of
cannabis through Mumbai airport was freed due to lack of evidence.

Trainee fitness instructor Daisy has already spent four years in prison
in Mumbai while her slow-moving trial proceeded through the Indian legal
system.

Her father John, 54, of Bournemouth, Dorset, died from leukaemia while
she has been in jail.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said there was a chance Daisy could be
moved to a UK jail. She added: “We have a prisoner transfer agreement in
India. It is up to Daisy to apply.”
