About Grand Gaube

Michaela McAreavey (née Harte; b. 31 December 1983 – d. 10 January 2011) was a Northern Irish teacher and the daughter of Tyrone Gaelic football manager Mickey Harte. On 10 January 2011, McAreavey was found strangled to death in the bathroom of her hotel room in Mauritius while on her honeymoon. Her killing and the

Read more subsequent investigation attracted sustained international media attention. It was reported as the first murder of a tourist on the island nation of Mauritius, prompting expressions of sympathy from Mauritian Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam. Two hotel employees were later tried for McAreavey's murder and were acquitted by the Supreme Court of Mauritius on 12 July 2012. The handling of the investigation drew significant criticism, including allegations of police misconduct and disputes over the reliability of the evidence. Public anger intensified in July 2012 when a Mauritian newspaper published crime scene photographs of McAreavey's body, leading to diplomatic protests from Ireland. Further inquiries were launched in the years that followed, and the case has remained the subject of ongoing police investigation and international attention.
