Crime Ex-Air Hostess Claims £1.5M Drug Stitch-Up in Sri Lanka
Photo courtesy of The Sun Charlotte May Lee, once a British air hostess, is at the centre of a harrowing legal ordeal after her arrest in Sri Lanka. Authorities at Colombo airport discovered 46 kilogrammes of high-grade synthetic cannabis within her luggage, alleged to be worth an astonishing £1.5 million. Lee, however, insists this was a setup, claiming she had no idea the drugs were in her suitcase. The 21-year-old, hailing from Coulsdon, South London, has resolutely declared her innocence from Negombo Prison, where she currently endures harsh conditions. In her account, the drugs were concealed in her suitcase without her knowledge. "I didn’t expect it at all when they pulled me over at the airport," she recounted. "I thought it was going to be filled with all my stuff.” The sequence of events began in Thailand, where Lee had been working on a "booze cruise." With her visa in Thailand due for renewal, she decided to briefly visit Sri Lanka. The night before her early morning flight, she packed her bags but left them unattended in her hotel room while she went out for a night on the town. She did not recheck her luggage the next day, assuming everything was as she left it. Lee believes that during her absence, the drugs were placed in her luggage by unidentified individuals. "They must have planted it then. I know who did it," she stated, though she has not disclosed any names publicly. Her arrest came as a massive shock and has thrust her into an unimaginable predicament. After a week spent at the Police Narcotics Bureau, Lee was transferred to Negombo Prison, infamous for its dire conditions. She described her time there as "awful," painting a picture of stark deprivation. "I feel as though I have no human rights here. There are no beds, no blankets," she detailed. In place of a comfortable sleeping area, she sleeps on a concrete floor using her jumper as a makeshift pillow. The prison reportedly doesn’t provide her with her prescribed ADHD medication, offering only strong sleeping pills instead. Photo of Charlotte May Lee and the alleged stash of drugs in her suitcase courtesy of LBC The environment in the prison is grim, with sparse amenities and barely functioning utilities. "There’s a ceiling fan but it doesn’t really work, and there’s a TV but that also barely works," Lee mentioned, underscoring the austere living conditions, which include having only one set of clothes. Adding to her woes, Lee claimed that those who allegedly arranged the drug drop-off were supposed to meet her in Sri Lanka, a meeting that never occurred. Instead, she is left grappling with the legal system, aware that her ordeal could result in a lengthy sentence. Her plight has reached the British officials, with a spokesperson from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirming their involvement. “We are supporting a British woman who has been arrested in Sri Lanka and are in contact with her family and the local authorities,” they stated, highlighting the international dimension of Lee's case. As the legal proceedings unfold, Lee's story serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and dangers that can befall travellers, especially concerning drug trafficking charges, which carry severe penalties abroad. The unfolding situation leaves many questions unanswered as Lee seeks a resolution to her dire circumstances. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-05-21 -
