Four suspects have been reportedly identified by police in Mauritius investigating the murder of Michaela McAreavey in a hotel there in 2011.

The newspaper editor who faces a year in prison for publishing photographs of Michaela McAreavey’s body collapsed due to “hysteria” before his case could be brought before the courts yesterday.

Police in Mauritius are preparing to press charges against the newspaper which published graphic images of Michaela McAreavey’s body for either “sedition or outrage against public morality”.
