DUBAI - Two British nurses charged with killing an Australian colleague in Saudi Arabia insisted at an Islamic court yesterday that they were forced into confessing, a legal source close to the case said. Deborah Parry (41) and Lucille McLauchlan (31), appeared before a panel of three judges at a second hearing at an Islamic sharia court in the eastern Saudi city of Khobar, the source said.
