Brit, 20, dies in Dubai as bag of cocaine 'bursts in his stomach'

Jensen Westhead, 20, swallowed a number of packages of cocaine at a hotel in Manchester before boarding a flight to Dubai - at least one of the bags burst in his stomach

A 20-year-old British man died in Dubai after a bag of cocaine he had swallowed before boarding a flight burst in his stomach.

Jensen Westhead, 20, swallowed a number of packages containing the Class A drug at a hotel in Manchester on December 2 last year. He then boarded a flight from Manchester Airport to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, where he arrived on December 3.

However, at least one of the packages burst in his stomach and he suffered an overdose. Jensen, from Thornton Cleveleys, Lancashire, was found dead at the Hotel Avalon in Dubai on December 4. Now, four people have been charged following Jensen's death as a result of a complex investigation by Lancashire Police.

Rebecca Hatch 43, Glenn Hatch, 50, Alexander Tofton, 32, and Steven Stephenson, 36, have been charged with conspiracy to fraudulently evade the prohibition on exportation of a Class A drug from November 21 to December 4 last year, reports the Liverpool Echo. Stephenson has also been charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine.

They are all due to appear before Lancaster Magistrates' Court on Friday, October 31. In a statement issued on Friday afternoon, Lancashire Police said: "Four people have been charged with drug offences following the death of a man in Dubai.

"On 2nd December 2024, Jensen Westhead swallowed a number of packages of cocaine at a hotel in Manchester before boarding a flight from Manchester Airport, arriving in Dubai on 3rd December 2024.

No sympathy. Instead of him to go pick up shifts. He wanted fast money

Lesson learned. He will never try it again.


Seun Osewa.

Brit Developas should learn from distant brothers in Yeastern Nigeria

Ewedu and amala at it again, they've sworn never to change. Spits

NCAN secretary-general have given order for further investigation. It's been suspected that the Brit is working for the usual suspects🤷🏿

Now the Dubai police might profile British fliers more.

The street price in Dubai for coke must be quite high. Imagine carrying drugs from the UK where it's already quite expensive to the UAE? Usually, the UK is the final destination where it would be sold.

Why is this making news now when it happened last December which is almost a year now? It seems some people want to use it to justify their people, just to prove that even Brits push drugs

The thing is most of the nations you guys worship are worst with these crimes,but your type,the EFCC ,and the ndlea, would hype every arrest, giving the nation bad image everywhere. Media in other nations would rather ignore,or will do everything to cover up.

For here na to hype am make other nations dey use us do anyhow when traveling and all of that. They now see almost every Nigerian as criminal or someone that has a criminal mindset. Na only insecurity and bad economy media dey cover up for here in Naija.

Boys no teach am how to wrap am well well.

They for call dem to know the technology.

So Even Britico Dey Swallow too,
I Think Say Na Only Chibuzo And Okey Dey Swallow Coke ,

Exactly! The hardship is forcing Brits into illegitimate businesses. The government needs to do more so citizens stay off crime.

Rip bro

If it was in Nigeria, Nigerians will check the name., blame the tribe, then blame the criminal for spoiling Nigeria's image. Am I missing anything ?
