A pregnant British woman jailed in Laos for trafficking heroin has arrived back in the UK today to serve out her sentence in a British jail.
Samantha Orobator was flown into London's Heathrow Airport from the capital Vientiane just before seven o'clock today.
Orobator, 20, from south London, was given a life sentence after admitting drug smuggling - and would have faced the death penalty had she not gotten herself pregnant while in jail.
She will now serve out the rest of her sentence in a tax-payer funded British jail and give birth under the NHS.
It costs the British taxpayer £77 a night to keep a prisoner in a category B British jail.
It is still not known how Orobator got pregnant while in the Laos jail. There are suspicions she made herself pregnant through sperm donated by another prison or a guard in order to escape the death penalty.
Orobator has been in jail in Laos for 12 months.She was met by a waiting prison van as she got off the morning flight.
Wearing a white beanie and loose trousers, she laughed as she stepped on to the tarmac, along with three travel companions.
Uniformed police stood by as she was led into the van taking her to Holloway prison.
Her return to the UK comes in time for the birth of her child which is due next month.
Yesterday Foreign Office Minister Chris Bryant said of her imminent return: 'This is excellent news.
'Of course, we do not condone any crimes involving illegal drugs. We work around the world to combat the use of illegal drugs.
'I spend much of my time warning British tourists of the dangers of using drugs in countries such as Laos, which have heavy penalties for these crimes.
'Samantha will serve her term in a British penal establishment. But I saw for myself Samantha's advanced state of pregnancy when I visited her in prison last week.
'The transfer means that Samantha will give birth in the UK, close to her relatives and under UK medical care. This is clearly the best outcome for all - not least her unborn child.'

Her mother, Jane Orobator, was flying into London from Dublin in the hope of seeing her daughter.
She said: 'I just want her to come back to the UK, that is my first desire. One step at a time, I just want her to have her baby here.'
Laos foreign ministry spokesman Khenthong Nuanthasing said Orobator's return was a humanitarian gesture which took her pregnancy into account.
He added: 'To my understanding, she is fine. The doctor keeps an eye on her. Both the officials from the UK and from Laos have taken care of her, particularly her health.'
Clive Stafford-Smith, director of Reprieve, said she should be allowed access to independent lawyers on her return. continues here
Above the reprehensible Orobator an immigrant to this country and a menace to the Laotian people and indeed our own, now Orobator doesn’t belong here, she was born in Nigeria and like millions of others she came to Europe with her parents to steal our assets ,to avail herself of our resources. Not enough it seems because Orobator became a drug smuggler, seeking to make financial gain from the misery of others, yet to cap it all she is treated as some sort of minor celebrity, as if she is a heroin(excuse the pun) and our foreign office go all out to cater to her needs, perhaps there is a lesson for you all .all you law-abiding, perhaps after all crime pays. In the future Orobators child will be born ,perhaps he or she will aspire be an architect, they all seem to, yet the likelihood is that her offspring will also prey off society, cost the taxpayer dearly and be a detrimental element within society, send them home, each and every one.
