Honeymoon couple killed in Maldives

A couple on honeymoon in the Maldives have died in a quad biking accident.

Jonathan and Emma Gray, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, were found injured on Saturday on a roadside at the Kuredu Island Resort and Spa where they were staying.

The couple, both aged 25, had been found injured by the roadside of the resort at about 4am local time, Maldives police said.

A third person was also injured in the crash and is in hospital.

A Foreign & Commonwealth Office spokeswoman said that consular assistance was being provided by staff, and they were liaising with police and local authorities on the Indian Ocean island.

The resort was featured on ITV’s Daybreak breakfast programme for five days in January as part of a promotion with Tui Travel.
