Anger as officer tells court about ‘sex guide’

The angry exchanges on the fourth day of the trial of two men for the murder of Michaela McAreavey developed after police Sergeant Govinder Ramasawmy told the court that he gave a “sex guide” manual to husband John three days after his wife was killed, along with 12 other possessions from their room in the luxury hotel.

These included a laptop, mobile phones and personal items.

In cross-examination, Sanjeev Teeluckdharry, representing accused Avinash Treebhoowoon, had asked whether an effort had been made by police to examine the contents of the phones and the sites looked at on the laptop.
