If you cast your mind back to the beginning of 2015 you may remember the murder mystery that took place in Mauritius, businessman Peter Roberts accused of murdering girlfriend Lee-Ann Palmarozza.

We covered this story back then HERE and HERE, so if you’re not familiar with the details give them the once over.

Now, finally, the trial has begun at the Supreme Court in Port Louis, Mauritius. Below from TimesLive:

“Today they made a jury selection‚ [there was] an opening address and they led certain state witnesses…policemen mainly‚” said Martini.

When asked how Roberts is dealing with the matter Martini said: “I am sure it is not pleasant to be in a foreign country. I think he is coping‚ that’s my view.”

It will be intriguing to see how this one plays out, and no doubt there’ll be plenty of spice coming out during proceedings.
