Honeymoon Killers Face Sentencing
The parents of a Welsh couple who were gunned down on their honeymoon in Antigua have said that they hope their children's killers will finally be sentenced.
Newlyweds Ben and Catherine Mullany, both 31, were gunned down on the holiday island of Antigua just a fortnight after they had tied the knot in 2008.
Kaniel Martin, 23, and Avie Howell, 20, forced their way into the couple's luxury holiday chalet, made them kneel and then shot them in the back of the head making off with mobile phones, cameras and some cash.
The pair have both been convicted of the murders however, the case has yet to be drawn to a conclusion - more than three years on.
The family of the victims hope that sentencing will take place next week.
