Michaela suspects face trial after preliminary inquiry

THE preliminary inquiry into the murder of Michaela Harte in Mauritius in January has found there is enough evidence to send forward two suspects for trial for her killing.

Ms Harte was killed on January 10 while on honeymoon at the Legends Hotel in Grand Gaube. She died just days after marrying John McAreavey.

Magistrate Sheila Bonomally, who conducted the preliminary inquiry into the killing, delivered her findings on Sandip Mooneea and Avinash Treebhoowon at the district court of Mapou but added that the court’s decision is a “temporary one”.
