The fiance of accused drug mule Cassandra Sainsbury says he has no doubt the 22-year-old is innocent.
Cassandra Sainsbury is living in “harsh”, “undignifying” conditions in the confines of Colombia’s largest, heavily overpopulated women’s prison while she awaits her trial.
The US Drug Enforcement Administration may have been responsible for the tip off that led to Cassie Sainsbury’s arrest for alleged drug trafficking in Colombia.
Colombian police believe an Adelaide woman arrested for allegedly having an estimated $US1 million worth of cocaine in her luggage could have been working as a drug mule.
