Detectives in Antigua say they have released two of the eight men arrested over the murder of Welsh couple Ben and Catherine Mullany. Three men are still in custody on the Caribbean island of Antigua after being arrested over the murders of Welsh couple Catherine and Ben Mullany.
The couple were shot on the last day of their honeymoon on the Caribbean island three weeks ago. The trainee doctor and her husband were shot at their hotel on the final day of their two-week honeymoon last month.
It is still not clear if the other six people are likely to face any charges. Five other men arrested in relation to the killings have now been released.
Sunday newspapers reported police as saying the investigation was at a stage where there was a "strong possibility" of a murder charge.Sunday newspapers reported police as saying the investigation was at a stage where there was a "strong possibility" of a murder charge.
