British holiday rep, 37, describes horror of Caribbean jail dubbed the Devil's Hotel after she was accused of murdering her husband

A mother-of-two who is accused of murdering her husband has said she would rather die than face serving 30 years in a Dominican prison if she is convicted. Nicola Reyes, 37, has described the horrific condition in which she has been kept for 14 months, allegedly without charge. Even her own lawyer in the Caribbean fears she will be convicted, and her parents Micheal and Jeanette Clements claim the British Embassy and Foreign Office have failed to provide assistance. They have now started a petition asking for Prime Minister David Cameron to intervene.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Nicola, a former holiday rep from Cardiff said: 'If I am convicted - and I truly think I will be - I will get 30 years. I will kill myself. I have worked out a way to do it.' In one incident inside the prison dubbed Devil's Hotel she says she listened as guards beat a man to death in the cell next to hers, then watched in horror as they dragged his body out and left it in full view of the other inmates until morning. She said: 'I saw other male prisoners chained up so high by their hands they were forced to stand on tip-toe. 'Guards would beat them with sticks until the sticks broke.'
