Malaysia drugs mum to return to Harlech
30 June 2011
A HARLECH woman who was jailed in Malaysia this week for drug offences will be returning home to Harlech on her release in September.
Family and friends of 46-year-old Shivaun Orton have this week spoken of their relief that she will be coming home.
Speaking to the Cambrian News, Shivaun’s sister Stephanie Hiscox said her family and friends were happy with the result.
“She’ll be coming back to Harlech soon with her sons,” Stephanie said.
“I expect the whole thing has been such a shock for her. Before she hadn’t dared to make plans, so it’s probably only just sank in that she’s going to have a future.”
Ms Orton and her husband Abdul Harris Fadilah were arrested last December after police seized drugs, including heroin and ecstasy, from their home in Chetarin, in the northern state of Terengganu.
It had initially been feared that the mum-of- two would be hanged.
But on Monday, Ms Orton was jailed for 14 months for four drug offences.
The sentence will run concurrently from the date she was arrested, meaning she will be home by September.
