She also vehemently denies claims Cassie knew she was smuggling drugs into Australia and insists her sister was threatened at gunpoint to carry 5.8kg of cocaine through the airport and was going to be killed in Hong Kong.

 

‘She was told “I’ve got photos of your family, if you don’t do what I want you to do, they are dead”’, Khala told the paper, before stating that Cassie had begged the Australian consulate to help free her from the grasp of a Colombian crime syndicate.

However, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade claims Cassie never came to them crying for help, according to the publication.
