A British grandma who has spent 12 years on death row in Indonesia for trafficking drugs is being sent back to the UK today.
Lindsay Sandiford is being repatriated as part of an agreement between the two countries.
She was sentenced to death in 2013 after she was convicted of trafficking drugs into Bali.
Officers found cocaine worth $2.14 million hidden in a false bottom of her suitcase after arriving from Thailand.
She said she only agreed to carry the drugs after a drug syndicate threatened to kill her son.
