Ben and Catherine Mullany

Two women have been arrested in connection with the murders of a British couple killed on their honeymoon in Antigua.

Ben and Catherine Mullany were shot during a failed robbery in their holiday cottage at the Cocos hotel resort on the Caribbean island last month.

The two women have not been named but appeared in court charged with 'offences connected to the murders', Inspector Cornelius Charles said.

It is thought the women have been charged in connection with items stolen from the couple's room, rather than the murders themselves.

Over 30 people have been questioned in connection with the shootings but police in Antigua say there are no firm suspects.

The newlyweds were buried on Wednesday in a small funeral service at the church where they were married a month ago. The couple's families said in a joint statement that a memorial service for extended family, friends and colleagues would be held at a later date.

What a waste of life, poor people. At least they died together..although that's poor consolation.

I feel sickened every time i see that foto. They look so attractive and so happy it almost brings a lump to my throat. They were talking about starting a family sometime and looking forward to a life together. To have to bury them in the same church a month later is just awful. I just hope there is a heaven and that they are together again. May the people that did it rot in hell. They were in the medical field too, which is a waste too. An attractive,young and intelligent couple. What an awful waste of two lives. You've gone to a better place Ben and Catherine
