A South African woman has been arrested attempting to smuggle 2.6 kilogram (5.7 llbs) of methamphetamine with a street value of $500,000(about  R4m) into the Indonesian resort island of Lombok, local police said.

Kathlyn Dunn, 28, was arrested at Lombok's airport after arriving on a flight from Singapore Thursday, provincial police detective chief Ricky Simon Paays told reporters.

"X-ray screening at the airport found suspicious materials inside the suspect's suitcase. Two packages containing methamphetamine were later found in the lining of her suitcase," Paays said, adding that the offence could carry a death penalty.

Indonesia enforces stiff penalties, including life imprisonment and death, for drug trafficking.

Two members of an Australian drug smuggling gang known as the "Bali Nine", who were arrested in 2005, are on death row, while seven others face lengthy jail terms.

Another Australian, Schapelle Corby, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for smuggling 4.1 kilos of marijuana in 2005, recently had her term slashed by five years after a clemency appeal to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Always people are arrested with drugs and sentenced, why can't they tell the SAPS who sent them or where they have found them, let alone the sentencing,to alliviate the drug trafficking. because she will be sentenced and others will be hired for the job.

Arrested for 2.6kg only? Maybe its true when they say some mules are used as a sacrifice while another big drug stash goes through undetected whilst they concentrated on this smaller one. These idiotic South African women! When will you wake up and smell the coffee? Going to die or spend your lifetime in a foreign jail just because someone promised you a cut after 'successful' delivery of the parcel? I do not feel sorry for you!

I'm sorry but no sympathy here. Its not like they don't know what the penalty is. Maybe they should make every school kid watch Midnight Express so they don't do this ish
