Marnie Pearce will stay in a Dubai jail after she lost an appeal, it 
has been announced this morning.

The 40-year-old mum of two was sentenced to three months in jail 
after she was found guilty of adultery.

Marnie, originally from Bracknell, was hoping her latest appeal would 
allow her to be released from Al Awir jail and save her from deportation.

But today she heard that her appeal was unsuccessful and she will 
remain in jail until May.

Close friend Sandy Norman, who lives in Dubai, said: "I don't want to 
sound defeatist, but what can we do at this point?

"I have lost faith in what I thought was a fair system."

The verdict also means Marnie will be deported and will lose custody 
of her two sons Laith, seven, and Ziad, four, meaning she may never 
see them again.

Marnie, 40, brought up in Aysgarth, Great Hollands, was found guilty 
of cheating on her Egyptian ex-husband Ihab El-Labban, in December.

In the United Arab Emirates, under Sharia Law, adultery is a criminal offence.

Marnie was sentenced to six months in jail but, after an appeal, had 
that term reduced to three months.

Marnie has denied the charges since the start and insists she has 
been framed so that her ex-husband can take custody of their children.
