Exotic places seem exquisite. However, if you look from the locals point of view, anyone who can affort to go there must be rich pickings. Boycott it and go where people are not on the starvation line

Wait, so these 2 did not do it and apparently neither did the husband. Fine. So… who did and do they still work at the hotel??? Yikes. Whatever they choose to call the place, they are potentially employing a murderer!

Reporting of this sick parody of a trial indicated that this would be the verdict. So, let us stand with our Irish neighbours on this. Boycott Mauritius as a holiday destination. Boycott Mauritian goods and services. They export sugar, do financial services, business process outsourcing and IT stuff. Let us send their economy into free-fall.
