Two women have been charged in connection with the murders of British honeymooners Ben and Catherine Mullany in Antigua, police said today.
The two women, who have not been named, appeared before the chief magistrates at St John's Magistrates' Court in Antigua charged with offences connected to the murders, Inspector Cornelius Charles said.
It is understood the charges relate to goods stolen from the couple.
Inspector Charles said: "The investigation into the double murders of Benjamin and Catherine Mullany has been ongoing.
"This morning two females appeared before the Chief Magistrates at St John's Magistrates Court, having been arrested and charged with offences connected to the murders.
"At this stage we are not in a position to disclose any further information as the inquiry continues. However further information will be provided in due course when appropriate to do so."
Mr and Mrs Mullany, both 31, from Pontardawe, south Wales, were shot in the head in their cottage at the Cocos Hotel and Resort in the south-west of the Caribbean island on the last day of their honeymoon on July 27.
The couple were buried yesterday at the church in Wales where they were married last month.
