A Cambodian court has sentenced two Peruvian men and a Thai woman to 20 years in jail each for attempting to smuggle cocaine through Cambodia to Thailand.

Police say one of the men was arrested last October with more than 100 packets of cocaine in his stomach, after arriving in Phnom Penh International Airport.

They say he led police to another Peruvian and his Thai wife, who were arrested in Siem Reap.

Their convictions follow those of two other Peruvians jailed for five years each in March for trying to smuggle two kilograms of cocaine to Thailand.
