Teen due next month after Georgia hell
Bella in court in Georgia's capital Tbilisi
THE mum of pregnant teen drugs smuggler Bella Culley feared missing the birth if her daughter remained behind bars.
Lyanne Kennedy is back home with Bella, 19, after she was freed from a Georgian prison on Monday. Lyanne, 44, and her dad Niel, 49, an oil rig worker living in Vietnam, raised almost £140,000 to pay a court after their daughter attempted to smuggle 12kg of marijuana and 2kg of hashish into Georgia.
A plea bargain was struck in capital Tbilisi which allowed her to return home to the UK.
Bella is due to give birth next month and had seen her jail conditions improve after she was moved to a mother and baby prison unit.
One source said: "She has been doing OK and has had no problems with the pregnancy.
"She has been as well as can be expected. Lyanne was most worried about not being there for the birth.
