DNA results may provide Michaela breakthrough

Mauritian authorities are awaiting results on new DNA evidence which could lead to a breakthrough in the murder of Michaela McAreavey.

The daughter of the Tyrone football manager was found strangled in the bathroom of her honeymoon suite in Mauritius in January 2011. Two hotel workers were acquitted of her murder in 2012.

However, Michaela’s widower, John McAreavey, has revealed that both he and his sister have been putting pressure on Mauritian authorities to keep the investigation alive.
