Detectives investigating the killing of two British honeymooners in Antigua have reportedly released their main suspect.

Clarence James was questioned by police on the Caribbean island in relation to the shooting of the couple on July 27th but has since been released.

Inspector Cornelius Charles said Mr James had been "cleared… for now", adding that his alibi had "checked out".

Ben and Catherine Mullany, both 31, died after being attacked, in what is thought have been a botched robbery, at the Cocos hotel.

It was announced on Sunday that Mr Mullany had died in a Welsh hospital after his family had flown him home from Antigua.

Funeral arrangements for the British couple are now being prepared by their families.
