Accused nurses see their families
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Two British nurses accused of murdering a colleague in Saudi Arabia were reunited with their families at a police station yesterday.
Lucille McLauchlin, 31, from Dundee, and Deboroh Parry, 41, from Alton, Hampshire, who have been in jail for three weeks, had separate meetings with their families at Dammam, the Foreign Office said.
Stan and Ann McLauchlan, from Dundee, appeared distressed. Mrs McLauchlan was in tears as they went through Heathrow airport on Saturday. Relatives of Miss Parry, 41, were thought to have been on the same flight. The nurses were initially said to have admitted killing Yvonne Gilford but then retracted the confessions. They could face the death penalty.
