Jurors visit hotel as prosecution rests case

The prosecution has closed its case against the two men accused of murdering Michaela McAreavey after the defendants and jurors visited the Mauritian hotel where the honeymooner was found dead.

A day has been set aside for legal argument in the trial today, ahead of the anticipated hearing of the first defence opening statement later in the week.

Security was tight outside the Lux hotel, formerly named Legends, as accusedAvinash Treebhoowon and Sandip Mooneea, both ex-employees, were driven inside to observe as the jury was given a private tour of the crime scene and other relevant locations.
