Back to the main story....
The Gulf News suggests that Ms Plummer may not be as "innocent" as she maintains.

The friend, Donna Irvin, who allegedly supplied Ms Plummer with the tramadol continues to deny any involvement.
The Humberside police are are investigating......sort of.
"In a statement released this afternoon, Detective Chief Superintendent Judi Heaton, head of crime, said: "We would like to clarify that although we are reviewing the circumstances surrounding how Laura Plummer came to have the tramadol, we are not carrying out a criminal investigation into any named suspect on the basis of the information we currently have.
"The reason for this is that if someone passes on a subscribed drug, it is not necessarily a criminal act but it is a civil offence under the Medicines Act."

Acquiring 290 tablets of a controlled drug is not a straightforward process and Ms Plummer may come to regret her story that they were supplied by her friend if any investigation shows this to be tissue of lies.
It would certainly undermine her claim to be an innocent/naive tourist.
