THE TWO WOMEN at the centre of drug trafficking allegations in Peru have been taken to court.
Peruvian police escorted Michaella McCollum Connolly, 20, from Tyrone and Melissa Reid, 20, from Glasgow from the national police anti-drug headquarters earlier.
The pair will either be formally charged for drug trafficking or released. They were allegedly found with around 11kg of cocaine hidden in food packages as they tried to check into a flight bound for Madrid.
Connolly’s lawyer Peter Madden said the Tyrone woman would be protesting her innocence.
Here are the images of the women on their way to court:
