British couple could face the death penalty after allegedly attempting to smuggle £2m ($AU3.69 million) worth of drugs into the UK.
Mohammed Tahir Ayaz, 26, and his wife Ikra Hussain, 20, of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire have been named by Pakistani authorities after their arrest at an airport.
The couple were planning to fly from Sialkot airport in Pakistan via Dubai to the United Kingdom.
The Airport Security Force (ASF) allegedly found 25 kilograms of fine quality heroin hidden in women’s clothing inside their luggage.
Packets were sewed in different parts of several clothes, it’s claimed.
It was the one of the major attempts of heroin smuggling foiled by ASF at Sialkot international airport.
The ASF authorities took the heroin into custody and registered a case against the couple.
