John McAreavey Settle's With Irish Daily Mail

John McAreavey, the husband of Michaela McAreavey, has agreed a five figure sum in damages from the Irish Daily Mail, who published CCTV images of the couple arguing in their honeymoon hotel suite.

An unreserved apology was also issued by a lawyer for the paper over the publication of the "potentially misleading images".

Michaela McAreavey, 27, the daughter of Tyrone Gaelic football team manager Mickey Harte, was found strangled in the newlyweds' honeymoon suite at the Legends Hotel in Mauritius in January 2011.

Mr McAreavey sued over an article which appeared during the trial of two men later acquitted of murdering his wife.
