When honeymoon bride Michaela Macarivi was murdered in Mauritius 15 years ago, journalist Alison Morris was sent out to cover the story.

She returned to the island many times over the years as a chaotic police investigation team blundered a trial, fitted up suspects and let her real killers walk free.

Today I'm talking to Alison about the tragedy and the reality that nobody may ever be brought to justice for Michaela's stolen life.

You're listening to Crime World, a podcast from crimeworld.com.

So 15 years ago, both you and I in different parts of the forest were out in Mauritius covering the murder of Michaela Macarivi, a murder that appeared that it was going to be solved quick, swiftly.

Yeah.

And suspects were rounded up.

But my goodness.

The guests had been allowed to leave the hotel without being questioned.

I remember the that police, the head of the police that time.

And I think we might have asked him what was the rate for solving murders in the country.

And I think he told us it was 100 percent.
