Michaela ‘caught two thieves in room red-handed’

Michaela McAreavey’s fairytale marriage was brutally ended by two thieves she caught red-handed in her bedroom, a court in Mauritius has been told.

The daughter of Tyrone football boss Mickey Harte screamed as she was murdered in the room in the island’s luxury Legends Hotel by two staff members, a chief prosecutor told jurors.

Opening the case against the two accused, Mehdi Manrakhan claimed that a third employee heard her cries from outside the door, but instead of helping her, ran away and hid.
