Mauritius 'in mourning' after honeymoon murder - www.travelweekly.co.uk: "Tourism bosses in Mauritius have spoken of their shock after the murder of a honeymooner at the island’s Legends resort yesterday.

Michaela McAreavey was found strangled in her room at the Naiade-owned resort while on her honeymoon with Gaelic footballer John McAreavey.

The Mauritius Police Force is reported to have identified six suspects and is said to be confident of making an arrest. Mr McAreavey is not believed to be a suspect.

Karl Mootoosamy, director of the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority, said the murder had shocked the entire country.

“Our thoughts are with Michaela’s family and friends during this terrible tragedy. It is the first time that a murder has ever taken place in a hotel in Mauritius and the island’s extremely low crime rate means this has come as a terrible shock to the whole nation,” he said."
