Legal teams clash at McAreavey trial

Attempts to explore the private lives of murdered honeymooner Michaela McAreavey and her husband provoked fierce clashes today at the trial of two men accused of the crime.

A defence lawyer’s bid to question a police officer about a sex guide found in the Mauritius hotel room where the daughter of Tyrone football boss Mickey Harte was strangled was met with fury by the prosecution, with the case adjourned for a period.
