Gurpreet told police he and Mr Singh had attended the same school where they became close friends, but then lost contact for many years after they both left India.

Mr Singh moved to the UK in 2002 while Gurpreet went to Dubai, where he worked in construction and trucking.

Choking back tears, Mann told MailOnline from inside the dilapidated 18th-century prison built during the British Raj that she was in a “living hell”.

She cried: “It’s horrible, it’s like being in hell, both this prison and the more serious situation I find myself in.

It was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I feel so alone, I haven’t made any friends here and I stay alone.

“The food and conditions are truly horrible. I don’t talk to anyone and I don’t want to do anything. I spend the whole day crying.

Mann’s lawyers have appealed the death sentence but, according to sources, Gurpreet is not contesting his conviction.
