Ben And Catherine Mullany Murdered On Honeymoon In Antigua: Two Men Jailed For Life

Two men who murdered a Welsh couple on their honeymoon were today each given three consecutive life sentences at the High Court in Antigua.

Kaniel Martin, 23, and Avie Howell, 22, were convicted of the murders, and the killing of local shopkeeper Woneta Anderson in almost identical circumstances, last July.

Newlyweds Ben and Catherine Mullany, from Rhos, near Pontardawe, were both shot in the head while on the holiday island of Antigua in 2008.

Mrs Mullany, a doctor, died instantly. Her husband, a student physiotherapist, survived the attack but fell into a coma.

He was flown back to Wales but his life support machine was switched off a week later.

Four weeks after witnessing their marriage, their parents were attending their funerals.
