Two men are due to go on trial today accused of murdering Ben and Catherine Mullany nearly three years after the British honeymooners were shot dead in Antigua.

Kaniel Martin, 23, and Avie Howell, 20, both Antiguan nationals, will appear at the Caribbean island's High Court for the start of what is expected to be a lengthy trial.
The Mullanys, from Pontardawe, South Wales, were staying at the five star, £330-a-night Cocos Hotel when intruders broke into their cottage in the early hours of July 27, 2008.
Mrs Mullany, 31, a qualified paediatrician, died instantly from a single gunshot wound to the head.
Her 31-year-old husband, a student physiotherapist, was placed on a life support machine before being flown home to the Morriston Hospital in Swansea, where his wife had worked.
Mr Mullany, a former South Yorkshire Police officer who had also served in the British Army, was pronounced dead a week after the shooting.
