British woman thought she was carrying money, but is accused of being involved in a £15 million cocaine scheme.

Kim Hall, a 28-year-old beautician from Middlesbrough, found herself in a dire situation after being arrested at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport in August. She was stopped by Homeland Security agents who discovered 43kg of cocaine worth a whopping £15 million in her loaded suitcases. Facing the possibility of up to 60 years in prison, Kim maintains her innocence and claims she had no knowledge of the drugs being in her possession.

According to Kim, the events leading up to her arrest took a sinister turn. She explains that she had been offered a free holiday to Cancun by two British men she had met on a previous trip. However, towards the end of her stay, they asked her to bring two suitcases filled with $250,000 back to the UK with her. Despite feeling uneasy about the situation, Kim agreed because she saw no harm in transporting money. Little did she know, the suitcases actually contained drugs.

Things took a frightening turn when Kim missed her first two flights out of Cancun. She claims the two men who had given her the suitcases started threatening her, accusing her of trying to avoid taking them. In a moment of sheer terror, one of the men even held a gun to her head and threatened to shoot her. Fearing for her life, Kim felt she had no choice but to carry the suitcases.

As the Homeland Security agents unpacked the suitcases, the gravity of the situation finally hit Kim. She was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and intent to deliver it, facing a sentence of 15 to 60 years in jail. In a state of shock, she asked an officer if America still had the death penalty. Her father, John, has spoken out in support of his daughter, insisting that she is innocent and only guilty of naivety.

Kim is currently out on bail but must wear an electronic tag as she awaits her next court appearance. She is determined to clear her name and return home to her family in the UK. The Foreign Office has confirmed that they are providing support to Kim and are in contact with the local authorities. Despite the difficult situation she finds herself in, Kim remains hopeful and maintains her innocence.
