Bella Culley to be freed from Georgian prison

Pregnant teenager Bella Culley, who was charged with drug trafficking in Georgia, is to be freed from prison, her lawyer has said.

The 19-year-old from Billingham, Teesside, had faced a potential 20 years in jail, but prosecutors made a last minute change to the terms of a plea bargain.

As she learned of the news in court in Tbilisi, Miss Culley gave her lawyer Malkhaz Salakaia a big hug.

The teenager was detained on 10 May having being arrested at Tbilisi International Airport when 12kg (26lb) of marijuana and 2kg (4.4lb) of hashish were found in her luggage.
