Michaela murder probe has ‘ground to a halt’

The family of Michaela McAreavey, murdered in her honeymoon suite in Mauritius, has said criminal investigations have ground to a halt.

Mrs McAreavey, 27, a teacher from Tyrone, was killed on the Indian Ocean island in January 2011.

Two men were cleared of the murder during a seven-week trial almost two years ago but the victim’s relatives claimed the Mauritian authorities had been reluctant to keep them updated since then.
