McAreavey murder trial: Man 'lying to save son'

The father of one of the men on trial for murdering honeymooner Michaela McAreavey in Mauritius has been accused of lying in the witness box to save his son.

A prosecutor challenged Sooriedeo Treebhoowoon that he made up a claim that his son Avinash told him he was being beaten by police shortly after he signed a statement in which he admitted involvement in the crime.
