Husband Of Brit Woman Facing Death Penalty In Egypt Claims He Has Evidence That Could Free Her

The husband of a British tourist facing the death penalty in Egypt claims he has fresh evidence that could lead to her being freed.

Laura Plummer, 33, has spent more than a month in prison in Hurghada after she was arrested at the airport for carrying Tramadol pills.

Held in a 15ft by 15ft cell with 25 other women for nearly a month, Ms Plummer faces a lengthy prison sentence if convicted of smuggling the drugs, which are reportedly illegal in Egypt.
However her husband, Omar Caboo, 34, is said to have shown the newspaper evidence that supports her defence the pills were for his bad back.

The entertainment worker told the newspaper: "Hopefully now her nightmare will come to an end. These papers will prove she was telling the truth."
Among the documents are X-rays, medical records and a marriage certificate. The couple reportedly met four years ago.

Ms Plummer is said to be due to appear before a court in the coastal city of Hurghadah today.
