A British woman blamed for triggering an earthquake by posing naked on a sacred mountain wept as she heard she will spend another night in prison because paperwork for her release was not signed on time.
Eleanor Hawkins, 23, was set to walk free today after being sentenced to three days in prison and given a £850 fine.
She is among a group of four Western backpackers arrested after photos emerged of them stripping naked on Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia.
Although the former public school head girl was sentenced to three days in jail, she was expected to be released immediately as she has been held in police custody since Tuesday.
