new bride strangled on honeymoon in Mauritius

[ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo]

here

so so sad.

I know. I'm from NI and was just chatting about her with my mum a couple of weeks ago as her wedding photo was front page on one of the major NI newspapers because of her dad. It is really surreal that she has been murdered. I've been feeling really upset since I found out.

me too jenny, whereabouts are you from? I'm south down. it is very upsetting when it someone 'local' and that you know of.

She was a very beautiful bride, wasn't she. Such a tragedy.

It is so sad for all the family esp her husband, but I don't know how her Dad will survive this she was he everything I don't remember an interview, match or photograph of him with out her by his side. So very sad I hope they catch who ever murdered her and justice is done.

teh whole family will be devastated but yes canyou, she was always there at her dad's side.

What a beautiful woman she was inside and out :((

Devastating loss. I'm heartbroken for her husband and her family. RIP Michaela.

i don't watch the news but my mum said they are being quite graphic on the reports. the poor family. hope they aren't watching teh reports.

It is tragic news. I'm from county Tyrone and everybody is just devastated. I hope they catch whoever is responsible and they are brought to justice.
It's a tragedy to die at such a young age but the circumstances just make it all the more heartbreaking.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones.

Boo - originally from Tyrone but also living in South Down now.

Three men are in custody and set to appear in court today.

This is so sad, the tragedies that some families have to deal with are so difficult.

The poor husband out in Mauritius all alone until some family get out to help him cope.

I hope they catch the correct person and not just 'arrest anyone' to keep the story as quiet as possible.

God, my brother is still at the Academy and does Irish. That's so sad; her dad's words were so heart breaking. So much tragedy has followed him, you wonder if he will be able to continue.

Tragedy has really followed Tyrone around aover the last few years.

RIP Micheala.

Her father was so moving on the news as were her brothers. Think husbands family are with him now and the Irish Embassy is trying to get them both home as soon as they can. My thoughts are with the whole family.

It is tragic. I really don't understand why though? She went upstairs to the hotel room and 20 mins later was found strangled but nothing was taken. Why would someone murder a stranger for no reason? Very sad and troubling :(

press saying it's believed she interupted a robbery and was killed.

How horrible for all the family. at least they appear to be on the verge of charging those responsible.

She disturbed a burglar who had used a cloned key, she fought back, he killed her.

They have arrested 3 hotel employees now, 2 room attendants and their supervisor.

well it is good that tehy are narrowing the suspect field, unless tehse 3 peopel are new people taht weren't in teh original 6 suspects?

i agree tennis, i hope they do it right and not just say "he'll do, we want to wrap this up" to protect their tourism income.

i dread to think what sort of a fight she had to put up if tehre were 3 of them

Another Tyrone native here. Totally devastating for the Harte family and the McAreaveys. .

The Tyrone team has seen enough tragedy over the years but this is in a different league.

Glad those responsible have been caught so quickly.

Poor poor Mickey and family . Michaela was just a beautiful girl. Inside and out.

This is unbelievably sad. Ballygawley is my Dad's home town and where lots of my relatives still live. RIP Michaela.

Boo - have just watched UTV lunchtime news about her coming home to be buried with tears rolling down my cheeks.

Words fail me.

I work with many Irish colleagues who knew or knew of Michaela and are saddened by her death, as am I.
Such a beautiful girl, with an apparent beautiful character too. An utter tragedy.

it is just so so tragic.

i saw one of the murderer's mum and wifeb talking earlier. i just don't know what to make of it all. i don't think we will ever know if they are the right ones.
