North’s attorney general set to examine murder files

The North’s attorney general is to examine papers from the trial into the murder of honeymooner Michaela McAreavey.

Deputy first minister Martin McGuinness said the perpetrators of the Mauritian killing in Jan 2011 could still be brought to justice after meeting the country’s acting high commissioner in London.

“I’m told that there is every prospect that there could be a new trial,” he said.
