Call to reopen McAreavey inquiry

Police should reopen the investigation into the murder of honeymooner Michaela McAreavey in Mauritius so the real culprit can be found, a lawyer for one of two men accused of the crime has told their trial.

During his closing statement, Sanjeev Teeluckdharry also criticised the evidence the Co Tyrone teacher’s widower John had given to court, claiming he was evasive on the stand and his testimony contained “disturbing elements”.
