A grandmother facing execution by firing squad after losing her appeal against a death sentence for drug smuggling in Bali is believed to have grown up in Bridlington.

Lindsay Sandiford, 56, was sentenced to death in January after being convicted of smuggling £1.6m of cocaine.

Sandiford was arrested in May when 3.8kg of cocaine were discovered in her luggage at Bali's airport.

She lodged an appeal against the decision last week a court in Bali rejected it and upheld the original sentence.

Sandiford, whose maiden name was Rhodes, is reported to have spent part of her childhood and teenage years in Bridlington, where she attended Headlands School and lived in the Brett Street area.

The Government said it is disappointed that Sandiford lost her appeal. She has 14 days to appeal to the national Supreme Court.
