20 year old Michaella McCollum from Co Tyrone and her co-accused Melissa Reid are accused of trying to smuggle around 11 kg of cocaine on a flight from Lima to Madrid.

The pair claim they were forced by an armed gang to carry the drugs.

It’s not yet clear if they still intend to enter a not guilty plea in court.
