‘I’M ABOUT TO DIE’
Cocaine gran fears she’s next for the firing squad
DEATH row gran Lindsay Sandiford reckons she could be executed within days.
She is being held in a hellhole jail for smuggling 4.7kg of cocaine into the Indonesian island of Bali.
A judge has ordered that the 62-year-old former legal secretary must die by firing squad.
Writing on her website, she said: “I have to accept the possibility I could be included in the next batch of drug executions.
“I don’t harbour any bad feeling towards the kingpin and the other syndicate members, I’ve got too many other things to worry about and I’ll leave that to their own karma.”
Lindsay, of Redcar, Teesside, is one of a handful of death row prisoners awaiting their fate in the notorious Kerobokan jail.
In 2012 she was convicted of smuggling cocaine in the lining of her suitcase after being stopped at Ngurah Rai International Airport.
She claimed she was forced to do it by a gang who threatened to hurt her son. The mum of two has repeatedly failed to get her sentence downgraded to life imprisonment. And she admitted her biggest fear is never meeting her two-year-old granddaughter.
Lindsay added: “I long to see and to hold her, but at the same time I feel it would be better if she didn’t know me.
“If I did see my granddaughter, it would be for my benefit and not hers. “When she grows up, I want her to know I wasn’t a bad person.” President Joko Widodo has sent 23 convicts to the firing squad in the last four years, while 47 got death sentences last year alone.
