Thread: Brit facing death penalty hangs head in shame for ‘smuggling ecstasy into Bali’

A British man is facing the death penalty after he allegedly brought a kilo of MDMA into Bali.
Thomas Parker, 32, could face the firing squad after he was arrested in January for trying to push 1.055kg of Class A drugs police say they found.
He was seen for the first time since his arrest on Thursday, and was paraded shaven and handcuffed in an orange jumpsuit in front of media in Denpasar.
Police say they noticed Parker ‘acting suspiciously’ while collecting a parcel from a man on a motorbike on January 21.


As officers approached him, he allegedly discarded the package in a panic and fled the scene.
A light-brown powder identified as MDMA was found inside, and they traced him to his villa in North Kuta.
He has been in custody ever since, and will now be charged with importation, trafficking and possession of drugs.

A British man facing the death penalty for allegedly supplying a kilo of MDMA in Bali is an electrician from Cumbria, MailOnline can reveal.

Thomas Parker looked bewildered as he was paraded in front of the world's media while wearing an orange jumpsuit following his arrest.

The 32-year-old is accused of trying to push Class A drugs police said they recovered in a mail package.

Maybe they will show mercy and give him the electric chair then.

Shocking behaviour.

Fewer dealers probably raise the gene pool, coud be worse coould be strapped in a loveless relationship without parole , ask Jaun de Gommy who found Jesus was his Sinaloa cartel cell mate.

He is "currently" in jail, but he says it wasnt his "volt" and he just wants to go "ohm", hopefully by next thursday or "faraday". Maybe someone will "wire" him the bail money.

How exactly did he import it? Was it a flying motorbike?

A bright spark of a police officer manufactured his charge sheet.

Looks like a massive douche
