Two former hotel workers accused of theft by police investigating the murder of Irish honeymooner Michaela McAreavey have been released on bail in Mauritius.

Sandip Moneea, 52, who was acquitted of Ms McAreavey’s murder, and ex-security guard Dassen Narayanen were freed during a hearing on Thursday following a decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions, their lawyers said.
