Doctor describes finding Michaela near bathroom

A DOCTOR has told how he arrived in a Mauritius hotel room to find the body of murdered Tyrone woman Michaela Harte lying on the floor near the bathroom.

Dr Ramachandra Su- nassee told a courtroom in the Indian Ocean paradise that he answered an emergency request from the Legends Hotel regarding a “female client” of Irish nationality.

Dr Sunassee, the fifth witness to give evidence since Monday’s start of the preliminary enquiry into the death of Ms Harte, told district magistrate Sheila Bonomally that Ms Harte was “unconscious and she was not breathing on his arrival”.
