British women stranded by landslides in Sri Lankan mountains running out of food and water, daughter says

Melanie Watters, 54, and her friend Janine Reid, 55, both from London, were being driven through the mountains from Kandy in central Sri Lanka on Thursday when the road in front of them was swamped, sending a bus nearby over a cliff-edge. The women's own car was stuck in a ditch and at risk of being washed away, said Watters' daughter, Katie Beeching, but the friends and their driver had to stay in the vehicle overnight in worsening conditions.
