The pre-trial of the men accused of the murder of Tyrone woman Michaela McAreavey begins in Mauritius tomorrow.

The pre-trial will determine who can be called as witnesses in the full trial, which is expected to be held later this summer.

The 27-year-old teacher and daughter of Tyrone football manager Mickey Harte was killed while on honeymoon in Mauritius in January, 12 days after she married footballer John McAreavey.

Two hotel workers are charged with Mrs McAreavey’s murder and are expected to appear in court tomorrow.
