Honeymooners still flock to Michaela murder hotel

THE hotel where Michaela McAreavey was murdered a year ago is still one of the Indian Ocean’s most popular honeymoon destinations, despite its dark history.

Michaela, 27, was found strangled to death in the bathroom of her suite at Legends in the resort of Grand Gaube on Mauritius on January 10, 2010.

The former beauty queen, daughter of Tyrone GAA manager Mickey Harte, had returned to her room for biscuits to share with her new, husband John McAreavey, on a luxury beach when she was fatally attacked.
