Michaela was strangled in two-minute struggle

Honeymooner Michaela McAreavey was strangled during a violent struggle in her hotel room that lasted about two minutes, the trial of the men accused of her murder has heard.

A doctor who examined the Co Tyrone teacher following her death also told the court DNA traces might have been washed off her body when she was dumped into running water.

The daughter of Tyrone Gaelic football manager Mickey Harte was found in the bathtub of her room in the luxurious Legends Hotel in Mauritius in January last year.
