McAreavey trial seeks more video footage

Further CCTV footage has been requested at the trial of two men accused of murdering Michaela McAreavey in a bid to identify a mystery couple apparently rowing at the hotel where the honeymooner died.

While lawyers for the defendants claim the couple are the Co Tyrone teacher and her husband John, a high-ranking police witness told the court he was 100% sure they were not the McAreaveys.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Yoosoof Soopun said the couple captured in a grainy security camera image at the reception of the Legends Hotel the day the honeymooner died were German holidaymakers Harald Hoyer and Savarese Graziella.
