BRITISH “drug smuggler”;; Charlotte May Lee has been pictured in a new mugshot alongside the huge £1.2 million drug stash she claims she didn’t know was in her luggage.
The 21-year-old former air stewardess has a cautious look on her face as she stands in an glamorous, all-white outfit with sparkly sandals
Part-time beautician Charlotte was cuffed after stepping off a flight to Sri Lanka from last Monday.
Her two suitcases are said to have been stuffed with 46kg of synthetickush — which is 25 times more potent than opioid fentanyl.
Other newly released images show the in large vacuum-sealed bags that were allegedly stuffed into Charlotte’s luggage when she arrived into the country’s capital.
Stacks upon stacks of the hermetically sealed packages are seen laid out on a table within Colombo’s Narcotic Unit.
The way in which the bags were packaged suggests the stash was packed with a top level of professionalism.
Yesterday Brit wept in court as she was told
And even then she’s been warned shein toughif convicted of being a drug mule.
After her first court appearance she will no longer be allowed to use her phone or contact her loved ones.
A source told The Sun: “Charlotte is crying a lot. The penny has dropped and she is more aware of her perilous situation.
“The jail is not fit for a rat to live in. And she has been told to get used to it.
“She is a total mess. She hates the food, which is only rice with the occasional hot curry.
“The prison is so full that she has been lying in the corridor on a concrete floor with no pillow or sheet.”;;
The Sun can reveal a mystery British man was waiting for Charlotte when she arrived on a flight to Colombo from Thailand last Monday.
A source said: “Charlotte had been going on about this man she was madly in love with. She met him in Bangkok. He was then waiting for her on touchdown in Sri Lanka.
“She obviously never got to meet him when she was arrested. Who is this man – the police should be investigating him. We understand he has even been in touch with. We worry she is somehow under his spell.”;;
Charlotte claimed on Tuesday the drugs – 25 times more potent than powerful opioid fentanyl – found in her
The part-time beautician, of Chipstead in Surrey said she had “no idea”;; that there were drugs in her luggage when she left Bangkok.
She claimed: “I had never seen them before. I didn’t expect it all when they pulled me over at the airport. I thought it was going to be filled with all my stuff.
“I had been in Bangkok the night before and had already packed my clothes because my flight was really early.
“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.”;;
The young Brit believes the huge amount of illegal substances were planted in her luggage in a planned move by dangerous dealers in Southeast Asia.
And Charlotte, a former TUI stewardess, has now said: “I know who did it.”;;
Charlotte said the jail shower is just a bucket of water with a broken TV the only activity available.
Another major issue the Brit, from Coulsdon, is facing is eating and keeping clean.
Kush, a highly addictive synthetic drug, has claimed the lives of thousands in West Africa where it first appeared in 2022 – and is spreading globally at an alarming rate.
The dirt-cheap drug is cut with an array of additives including acetone, the opioid tramadol and formalin, a toxic chemical commonly used to preserve bodies in mortuaries.
