Robert Halliwell

Robert ("Bobbie") Halliwell (born 1948) is an Australian currently serving a life prison sentence in Thailand for attempting to smuggle heroin from Bangkok to Australia. He was arrested in the company of Perth woman Holly Deane-Johns who is currently serving a 31-year sentence.

Halliwell and Deane-Johns were arrested in September 2000 whilst attempting to post a parcel to Australia containing several grams of heroin. Police later found another 110 grams of heroin in Halliwell's apartment. He had lived in Thailand for several years at the time of the arrests.

Halliwell was interviewed by Australian "60 Minutes" reporter Tara Brown in March 2004. He said in response to a question: "I thought you had to die to go to hell, but hell is right here".
