Martin McGuinness: McAreavey images 'cannot be justified in any way'

"The decision of the newspaper in Mauritius to publish crime scene photographs, including pictures of Michaela's body is an outrageous abuse that cannot be justified in any way.

"People in Mauritius need to realise that the eyes of the international community are firmly focused on their country and their justice system in the wake of the brutal murder of Michaela and the absolute failure to deliver justice for John McAreavey and the rest of family.

"This case will not simply go away as some in Mauritius seem to hope. I can assure the Mauritian authorities that people in Ireland will continue to keep a focus on this case until justice is done."

– Stormont Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness
