jackdanielsesq Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Perhaps there is absolutely zero coincidence, but the trend does appear to have strange similarities with the two Brits who were caught in LOS recently and arrested. Apparently the two are not without some controversy on their 12 month world sabbatical One wonders if they were in Thailand?! BR>Jack The mother of one of two British law graduates arrested in Brazil over alleged false claims they had been robbed says it is a "misunderstanding". Simone Headley said her daughter Shanti Andrews and friend Rebecca Turner were both "absolutely traumatised". Reports say the 23-year-olds claimed items had been stolen before police found the belongings at their hostel. The Foreign Office confirmed two British nationals had been arrested in Rio de Janeiro on 26 July. The women were due back from a nine-month trip around the world on Tuesday. It is understood that if they were charged with fraud, they could face a five-year jail term. Ms Headley, from Frant, near Tunbridge Wells in Kent, said when she spoke to her daughter on Monday that she had been "terrified" and "in tears". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8171908.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkbound04 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 these 2 should be sentanced, as educated girls especially with regard to the law they were fully aware of the consequences of their actions and should now face them, it's typical british media where if a lawyer stabs somebody they should be hailed a hero and champion of the people and be discharged however in the same circumstances if a bricklayer or roadsweeper acted the same they could expect to be branded a yob etc etc and given a very long sentance..
