Cathedral service for newlyweds

Catherine and Ben Mullany had been married for just two weeks

A funeral service for Ben and Catherine Mullany, who were fatally shot on their honeymoon in Antigua, is to be held in Cardiff next month.

The service for the couple, who were from Pontardawe in the Swansea Valley, will take place in Llandaff Cathedral in the city on 10 September.

Dr Mullany and her trainee physiotherapist husband, both 31, were buried in a private service last week.

A man aged 20 and a youth of 17 have been charged with the couple's murders.

Keniel Martin, 20, and the teenager who cannot be named for legal reasons, were remanded in custody after appearing in court on the Caribbean island on Monday.

Both are also charged with robbery and receiving stolen goods.

Two women aged 22 and 32 have also been charged in connection with handling stolen goods by police in Antigua.

Attacked

And on Tuesday, another woman, Jeorgette Aaron, 31, appeared before magistrates charged with perverting the course of justice, accessory after the fact to robbery and accessory after the fact to murder, said Inspector Cornelius Charles of the Antiguan police force.

The couple were attacked in the early hours of 27 July, the last day of their honeymoon, in their hotel bungalow at the Cocos hotel and resort in the south west of the island.

Dr Mullany died at the scene while her husband was airlifted to south Wales and died at Morriston Hospital in Swansea a week later.

They had married just two weeks before at St John the Evangelist Church, in Cilybebyll, near their home in the Swansea Valley.

Their families had planned the funeral service to allow extended family members, friends and colleagues to pay their respects to the couple.

The couple were on the final day of their honeymoon

They are requesting no flowers at the service at 1200 BST as a memorial fund is to be announced in due course.

The man and youth accused of their murders appeared before magistrates in St John's, the Antiguan capital, on Monday.

Both had been questioned over the weekend after raids on their homes.

It emerged in court that police had recovered a camera and two mobile phones belonging to the couple.

In all more than 30 people have been questioned about the crime.

Eight officers from the Metropolitan and South Wales Police forces had flown to Antigua to assist with the murder inquiry.

Dr Mullany was training to become a GP and had been due to join a practice near her home on her return from honeymoon.

Her husband was a physiotherapy student at the University of the West of England, Bristol.
