A 69-YEAR-OLD British grandmother who spent 12 years on death row for smuggling £1.6 million worth of cocaine into Bali has finally returned to the UK.

- By EMMA O'NEIL

Lindsay Sandiford, then 56, admitted to trafficking drugs into Indonesia in 2012 but claimed she had been coerced by an international drug syndicate that threatened her family.

She was sentenced to death by firing squad the following year and spent more than a decade in Bali’s notorious Kerobokan Prison before being released on humanitarian grounds last month.
