Brit Facing Death Penalty Over Angel Delight Cocaine Haul Insists She Was Framed

Published on June 12, 2025

A British mum is fighting for her life in a Bali courtroom after being accused of smuggling over £300,000 worth of cocaine hidden in packets of Angel Delight. Lisa Stocker, 39, is now facing the death penalty, but she’s insisting she was set up.

On trial in Denpasar central court alongside her partner Jon Collyer, also 39, and another Brit, Phineas Float, 31, Lisa told jurors she had no idea the dessert sachets she was carrying were laced with anything illegal. “The packages were not mine, but someone else’s. I was framed,” she said, according to The Mirror.

The mum-of-three had flown into Bali with Collyer via Qatar and was arrested on February 1 at Bali’s international airport after airport security spotted something suspicious during a routine X-ray. Inside her luggage, authorities found 992 grams of cocaine wrapped up inside what appeared to be innocent packets of Angel Delight.

She claims she’d simply been asked by a friend back in the UK to bring the dessert mix to Bali and had done similar errands before. “Jon and I had been to Bali twice carrying packages from [him]. I was shocked after finding out it was cocaine,” she said in court.

Her partner Jon backed up the story, saying he was never paid for carrying the goods and had even paid for the trip himself. “[He] gave me some goods to be handed over to his friend in Bali. [He] told me the package contained snacks, such as chocolate, pudding and chips. [He] said that someone would pick up the package when I arrived in Bali,” Jon said.

But prosecutors claim there’s more to the story. Police allege the supposed friend actually gave Jon £2,130 to pay for their flights and accommodation in Bali, raising suspicions about how innocent the trip really was.

Once the couple were arrested, police say they used Lisa and Jon in a sting to catch Phineas Float, who they accuse of receiving the packages in an airport hotel just two days later, on February 3.

Float didn’t exactly do himself any favours at the time. During a February press conference, the three Brits were paraded in front of cameras. Float reportedly laughed and swore at journalists as he was escorted to court, shouting at them to “f**k off.” But in court, his tone was much more subdued.

“I took the packages from Jonathan and Lisa after getting a message from [him],” he told the court. “I wanted to help a friend and did not know it was cocaine.” He also seemed genuinely stunned by Lisa’s involvement, saying she “chose to live a healthy life” and he was shocked to see her caught up in something like this.

All three are now staring down the very real threat of facing a firing squad if found guilty. Bali’s drug laws are notoriously strict, and trafficking convictions often come with the harshest punishments. The courtroom drama is far from over, but for Lisa, Jon and Phineas, the stakes couldn’t be any higher.
