We've had 10 years of false hope, disrespect & inertia..

RELATIVES of murdered honeymooner Michaela McAreavey have accused the Mauritius authorities of disrespect and inertia as they prepare to mark the 10th anniversary of her death.

The 27-year-old, who was the only daughter of All-Ireland winning Gaelic football manager Mickey Harte, was strangled in her hotel room on the Indian Ocean island on January 10, 2011.

The Co Tyrone teacher, who had been married 10 days earlier, was attacked as she returned to her room alone and disturbed a burglary.

Two former workers at the luxury resort – Sandip Moneea and Avinash Treebhoowoon – were both acquitted after a high-profile trial in the summer of 2012. Mrs McAreavey’s widower John has led a long campaign for justice on behalf of her loved ones.

They have accused the Mauritian authorities of being more interested in preserving the island’s reputation as a holiday destination than catching her killers.
