Police investigating the murder of Michaela McAreavey have identified a new suspect. 

The 27 year old teacher was found dead while on honeymoon in Mauritius almost two years ago.

A fresh investigation into her death was launched five months ago, after two hotel workers were acquitted following a two-month trial last summer.

It's understood investigating officers have now sent a file on a new suspect to the island's Director of Prosecutions.
