The two black street thugs who murdered British honeymooners Ben and Catherine Mullany on the Caribbean island of Antigua may now face the death penalty

Avie Howell, 20, and Kaniel Martin, 23 - nicknamed Demon and Sample Dan - shot and killed the newlyweds on the last night of their 2008 honeymoon. Catherine, a newly qualified doctor, and physiotherapist Ben, both 31, lost their lives for two cheap mobile phones, an inexpensive camera and a small amount of cash. The couple were staying at the exclusive Cocos Hotel in Valley Church, Antigua when Howell and Martin broke into their apartment. They shot them both, leaving them dying on the floor before fleeing the scene. Catherine died almost instantly but Ben was flown home to Britain by air ambulance where he died a week after the shootings. Police caught the black killers by linking the murder gun to the death of Jamaican woman Woneta Anderson, who was shot in the head at close range only two weeks after the hotel raid. Howell was just 17 at the time of the murders and Martin was 20. The pair were found guilty of all three murders after the two-month trial at the High Court in Antigua, which featured more than 90 witnesses.
