The father of one of two women from the UK held in Peru on drug smuggling charges has called on British and Spanish police to investigate the case.

Melissa Reid, of Lenzie, near Glasgow, and Michaella McCollum, of Dungannon in Northern Ireland, were caught with £1.5m of cocaine at Lima Airport.

Both claim they were forced into carrying the drugs to Majorca via Madrid.

Reid’s father, William, wants police to investigate how the women originally left Ibiza where they had been staying.
