New team set up to probe Michaela killing

A new police team of three senior officers is to carry out a fresh investigation into the murder of honeymooner Michaela McAreavey in Mauritius.

It will be headed by Superintendent Yaswant Callee from the central criminal investigation division, a lawyer for the McAreavey family confirmed.

Dick Ng Sui Wa, who represents Mrs McAreavey’s widower John, said: “There will be a new police team set up. They are taking it from zero.”
