A fourth man has been arrested in Mauritius in connection with the murder of Michaela McAreavey.


He is a member of the security staff at the four-star Legends Hotel, police on the island confirmed.


Thousands of mourners travelled to Ballymacilroy yesterday for the funeral mass for the 27-year-old at St Malachy's Church.


She had married Down footballer John McAreavey at the same church on 30 December.


Among those who attended the requiem mass were President Mary McAleese, Northern Ireland First Minister Martin McGuinness and the Primate of the Catholic Church in Ireland, Cardinal Sean Brady.


Three men, all staff at the luxury hotel, have already been charged in connection with the killing, thought to have happened as newlywed Mrs McAreavey disturbed a burglary in her room.


Room attendant Avinash Treebhoowoon, 29, and floor supervisor Sandip Moneea, 41, have been charged with murder, and room attendant Raj Theekoy, 33, with conspiracy to murder.


They are due to appear in court tomorrow.

A few people abviously involved in this, just hopefully they get the right person and not just beat someone to get a confession!
A dam shame really as this is where we stayed on our honeymoon and the people just couldnt have been nicer to us.
Whoever did this has tarnished the rest of the staff there and put the hotel in danger itself in a small country where they must have tourism to survive.
It just goes to show what people are willing to do when in severe poverty.
The resort itself looks luxurious and lush (why wouldnt it be for the price you pay) but travel outside the resort and you get a rough idea what life is really like.
No excuse though for what these people did.
RIP Michaela
