Crime scene images a new low, say McAreaveys

The family of Michaela McAreavey has labelled the publication of crime scene photographs of her body as “reprehensible” and “a new low” in the treatment of her husband and family.

Mauritius’ Sunday Times, a paper with no connection to any British or Irish company, used images of the hotel room crime scene where Mrs McAreavey was killed.

On the front page there was a photograph of the honeymooner taken after her death — under the headline “exclusive”.
