The lawyer for the family of Michaela McAreavey believes police are closer than ever to a breakthrough in solving the teacher’s honeymoon murder.
A former hotel worker acquitted a decade ago of the killing has been charged with conspiracy to commit theft over her death in Mauritius. Sandeep Mooneea had been taken in for questioning by officers investigating the case on Tuesday.
Police said he had been provisionally charged with “conspiracy” and was due to appear in court. Last month, another former hotel worker – ex-security guard Dassen Narayanen – was charged with conspiracy to commit theft in relation to the McAreaveys’ hotel room.
