The former Legends Resort in Mauritius has reached an out-of-court agreement with Michaela's widower, John McAreavey, and five members of her family that is reportedly worth more than a million pounds.

Avinash Treebhoowoon and Sandip Moneea, who were both workers in the hotel, were arrested over the 27-year-old's murder in 2011 but were acquitted of the charges after an eight-week trial in 2012.

Michaela's family then opened a civil case against the hotel to claim damages after it was suggested that it had not fully co-operated with the police investigation.
