Two of Northern Ireland’s leading journalists, Darragh MacIntyre and Allison Morris, revisit the tragic murder of 27-year-old Michaela McAreavey.

Michaela’s family paint a vivid picture of a wonderful, family-oriented young woman and describe the heartbreaking impact of her death.

Michaela’s widower, John McAreavey, recounts how he discovered his new wife strangled in the bathtub of their honeymoon suite and his subsequent ordeal as the first suspect.

The former prime minister of Mauritius reveals that he spoke personally with the commissioner of police to put his best men on the case to solve it quickly. The detective inspector who led the investigation explains how - within 24 hours - police arrested three hotel workers, and evidence pointed to Michaela’s murder being a robbery gone wrong.

Crime correspondent Allison Morris was in Mauritius in the aftermath of Michaela’s murder to cover the story. What Allison experienced first-hand raises questions about the police inquiry. Sixteen months after Michaela’s murder, two hotel workers – Avinash Treebhoowoon and Sandip Moneea – stood trial at the supreme court. Michaela’s family travelled to Mauritius, prepared to face they men they believed murdered Michaela.
