'Peru two' could face six-month probe

Drug mules Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid could face a six-month investigation if their guilty pleas are not accepted, the Peruvian prosecutor in charge of their case has said.

Juan Mendoza made the comments after the women, both 20, made a second appearance before a judge at Sarita Colonia del Callao jail, in Callao, near Lima. He did not give details of the private hearing but suggested the women’s confessions had not yet satisfied prosecutors.
