Backpackers who stripped in Malaysia 'to spend night on death row' after prison bungle
2015-06-13
[TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] A British woman who posed topless on a Malaysian mountain will have to spend another night in prison after the paperwork for her release was not signed.

Eleanor Hawkins, a 23-year-old aeronautical engineering graduate from Derby, was sentenced to three days in jail and fined but was due to leave on Friday night, since she had already been in jail since Wednesday.

However it is understood the necessary release documents were not signed in time.

A Malaysian police source told the Telegraph that Miss Hawkins cried when a warden said at she would have to spend a fourth night in jail despite paying the £858 fine. He said the two men in the group of tourists sentenced will be spending the night on death row due to a shortage of free beds.

Dutch citizen Dylan Snel and Canadian Lindsey Petersen pleaded guilty in a court in Sabah state on Borneo island to a charge of public indecency, alongside Petersen's sister Danielle and Miss Hawkins.

#4  Ah, isn't that cute, trying to hide their faces. As if you didn't post your faces online already through other photo's.

Here's a hint: If you have an online presence, don't do stupid things that involve social media. And lets face it, you wouldn't have been posing topless if not to post it online.
