Ex-ABC correspondent Lloyd released
Former ABC foreign correspondent Peter Lloyd has been released from Singapore's Changi prison.
Lloyd was arrested last July on drug offences and has been in prison since December last year.
He was sentenced to 10 months in prison for possessing the drug 'ice' and drug paraphernalia.
A source close to Lloyd says his sentence was reduced due to good behaviour.
Lloyd said he resorted to using drugs after covering traumatic events such as the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami for the ABC.
It is not yet known if he will return to Australia.
