British backpacker faces death penalty after arrest on ’Death Island’

A Briton facing life in prison in Thailand is a new father who was arrested just days after getting married in a romantic ceremony on a remote paradise island. Andrew Brett, 35, was reportedly carrying a stash of cocaine and LSD when he was detained following a five month undercover police operation. His devastated parents, John and Ann, told of their shock as news of their son’s arrest began to emerge just days after they returned from a month-long break on the island of Koh Tao.
