As her condition got worse she was granted a last visit from husband Roger, 73.

They had been caged two years ago and sent to separate jails.

A source told the Sunday Mirror Susan had been due to return to England to finish her sentence.

They said being without her family in her last hours must have been “torture”.

The source said: “She was handed a life sentence – left to die in a foreign prison with no loved ones around her.

“Four weeks ago she was given one last visit with Roger. They saw each other through a Perspex window.

“She had a lump in her throat which meant she couldn’t actually speak.

“She was battling breast cancer but the doctors in Portugal decided that there was nothing they could do for her, so they stopped her treatment.”
