DAILY MAIL & DAILY TELEGRAPH

British couple shot dead on their knees on the last day of a 2-wk honeymoon at COCOS (chalet) HOTEL, St.JOHN'S, Antigua

Dr Catherine Mullany and (physiotherapist) husband Ben were forced to kneel by their bed before being shot in the head, the hearing in Swansea was told.

Holidaymakers staying at the same (COCOS- all included) Antigua hotel reported hearing screams and gunfire at 5am, the coroner heard.

Dr Mullany, 31, died at the scene while her physiotherapist husband, also 31, died after being flown home to Pontardawe in South Wales.

Cash, a camera and phones were stolen from the newlyweds’ room before they were killed on the last day of their two-week trip.

‘Three spent cartridges were found on the floor of their chalet and there was damage to the bathroom door where it had been kicked in.’

Avie Howell, 20, and Kaniel Martin, 23, both got LIFE

They were caught after SIM cards registered to them were activated in Mr Mullany’s stolen phone within hours of the shootings.
