John McAreavey back in Mauritius for fresh appeal in Michaela case

John McAreavey will today seek to reignite the police probe by Mauritian authorities into the murder of his wife, Michaela, after the island’s prime minister yesterday said the case would be prioritised.

Mr McAreavey has travelled to Mauritius to make a public appeal today for any fresh information which might convict the killers of Michaela, who was found strangled in the bath of the Legends hotel room where the couple were staying on their honeymoon in January 2011.

Michaela, daughter of Tyrone football manager Mickey Harte, was just 27.
