Michaela Harte’s murderers confess their crimes and motives

My sympathy to The McAlreavy & Hart Families. Their lives have been destroyed by petty criminals who turned murderers. It is so sad that such a beautiful person was so brutally murdered by these criminals. I do hope the Mauritian authorities ensure that all the people involved are charged especially the person who opened the door and stood guard and must have heard her cries for help while his accomplishes murdered Michelea for a few hundred dollars. He is as guilty as they are. I do hope the world keep an informed check on this trial to ensure that justice pervails. It will not take Michelea back but hopefully it will prevent some other family being torn apart by a similar event.

I hate to say this, but the sentences: "a Mauritian barrister said it is quite common for defendants to retract their confessions... They may claim that their had been coerced into making them", do not inspire confidence in the Mauritian legal system.

@cuddlybuddly Throw some water on the campfire, snuff out the joint, put down the guitar, and stop signing Kumbaya. The 60's are over, in case you didn't get the memo. How do you KNOW these men were "desperate" for money? They had jobs, didn't they? Maybe they had a drug habit to feed? Maybe they suffered from a combination of the three deadly sins: greed, envy, jealousy. Combined, these sins are known as begrudgery, the major character of the flaw of the Irish. BTW, are you really Bono in disguise/drag?

unequal money system caused this mess, perhaps if these men were not desperate for money they would not have looked on these people as opportunites for money? message:do not flaunt your wealth in a country that has poverty as more and more people will be robbed until WE do something about the poverty levels in this world.

couple left a purse with money and jewelry on a table for a couple of days. It seems that this attracted the attention of some staff working there - how sad was such thinking .......................

How incredibly sad. And a reminder to us all to use in room safe's, etc when we travel.
