British mum, 39, facing death penalty with her partner tells jury 'I was framed'
Lisa Stocker, 39, is currently on trial in Bali alongside Jon Collyer and Phineas Float
A British mum facing the death penalty after being accused of trafficking cocaine inside Angel Delight packets insists she was framed.
Lisa Stocker is on trial at Denpasar central court, in Bali, where she is alleged to have trafficked cocaine worth more than £300,000 inside sachets of the dessert mix.
She is on trial alongside her partner Jon Collyer, both 39, from East Sussex, and Phineas Float, 31, also of East Sussex. Float is accused of receiving the packages in an airport hotel on February 3.
On Tuesday (June 10), Stocker told jurors she had been fitted up after she was arrested at the airport with her partner, the Mirror reports.
The mum-of-three said: "The packages were not mine, but someone else's. I was framed."
Stocker entered Bali and was found with 992 grams of cocaine stashed inside packets of Angel Delight in her luggage.
Stoker and Collyer were arrested after cops swooped at Bali's international airport on February 1.
A routine X-ray at the airport allegedly alerted officials to the suspicious packages as the couple arrived in Bali after travelling from the UK through Qatar.
Cops reportedly used Stoker and Collyer as part of a sting operation to lure Float, leading to his arrest on drugs charges as well.
If found guilty of trafficking the substance all three defendants could face death by firing squad under the harsh laws of the country.
Stocker said a friend in the UK had given her the 17 packets of Angel Delight dessert mix and instructed her to take them to Bali.
"Jon and I had been to Bali twice carrying packages from [him]. I was shocked after finding out it was cocaine," she said.
Jon Collyer told the court that he had not received any payment, adding that he paid for the trip to Bali himself.
"[He] gave me some goods to be handed over to his friend in Bali. [He] told me the package contained snacks, such as chocolate, pudding and chips. [He] said that someone would pick up the package when I arrived in Bali," Collyer said.

However, police prosecutor Made Umbara said the friend in fact gave Collyer £2,130 to pay for the couple's accommodation and flights from the UK to Bali.
During a press conference in February where the three were paraded in front of the cameras, Float was seen to laugh. He also yelled at journalist to "f**k off" while walking to the court room for the first day of his trial last week.
He was reserved in court today, however. "I took the packages from Jonathan and Lisa after getting a message from [him]," he said. "I wanted to help a friend and did not know it was cocaine."
He said Lisa "chose to live a healthy life," adding he was shocked that she was involved in any alleged trafficking plot.
The trial is scheduled to continue on June 17.
