Michaela McAreavey husband accuses defence lawyers of ‘lying’

During his address yesterday, Mr Teeluckdharry told the jury that his client
would give evidence in person tomorrow to explain how he had been “wrongly
accused”.

“He will tell you how he was tortured relentlessly by unscrupulous police
officers who were in an indecent haste to obtain a confession,” he said.

He went on to detail some of the punishment metered out to his client,
including claims that he was stripped naked, beaten on the soles of his
feet, half-drowned in a bucket of water, slapped and punched around the head
and threatened with a revolver by detectives.

“I have heard his ordeal many times and I must tell you I’m not immune
from it,” said Mr Teeluckdharry. “I must tell you it’s not for the
faint-hearted.”

Treebhoowoon, 31, and Sandip Moneea, 42, deny strangling the daughter of
Tyrone Gaelic football boss Mickey Harte last January.

The trial continues.
