A former hotel security guard arrested by detectives investigating the murder of Michaela McAreavey has been remanded in custody on a theft charge linked to the honeymooners’ room.
The Mauritius Police Force said Dassen Narayanen, who worked at the Legends Hotel where the Irish teacher was killed in 2011, was brought before a court on Wednesday charged with conspiracy to commit larceny.
A lawyer for Narayanen has described the case against his client as “nonsense” said there was “nothing new” in the questions put to his client.
