Verdict expected next week in McAreavey trial

A verdict is anticipated next week in the trial of two men accused of murdering honeymooner Michaela McAreavey in Mauritius.

The remaining four defence witnesses testified and the last exhibits were produced at the Supreme Court in Port Louis yesterday, bringing to a close the case for defendant Sandip Mooneea. The case for co-accused Avinash Treebhoowon was heard last week.

Judge Prithviraj Fecknah told jurors the closing statement from the prosecution will be heard tomorrow.
