THE uncle of a British man killed on his honeymoon is to push himself through the pain barrier yet again as he aims to keep his late nephew's memory alive.

Heart attack victim Michael Meredith of Pontllanfraith, is planning to cycle almost 200 miles across Wales in less than 24 hours - going via some of the hilly principality's steepest inclines - in tribute to murdered newlywed Ben Mullany.

The 31-year-old former police officer was gunned down in Antigua alongside his new wife Catherine just over a fortnight after they had married.

Their family is still waiting for justice to be served almost three years on - with uncertainty now surrounding the trial date of two men charged with murdering the couple.

While the legal disputes go on, 58-year-old judo enthusiast Mr Meredith aims to put the strife to one side as he prepares to push his body through its toughest challenge yet.

He and three friends will set off from Anglesey, north Wales, today, aiming to cycle 195 miles within the space of a day.

Grandfather-of-one Mr Meredith said: "The past three years have been very tough for everyone who knew and loved Ben and Cath. We are still waiting for justice to be served and it has been far from easy.

At 10am, the team will set off from Bull Bay in Amlwch, going via Caernarfon, Aberystwyth, Llandeilo, Ammanford and Pontlliw before hopefully arriving outside the Dragon Hotel in Swansea less than 24 hours later.

The prospect of which amazes Mr Meredith, of Pontllanfraith, Caerphilly, who walked and cycled a total of around 400 miles in 2009 with fellow Tesco workmate Mr Maloney, 53.

The pair walked the entire Offas Dyke route - from Chepstow to Prestatyn - in five days. And once they had reached the end, they immediately turned around and cycled straight back to south Wales.

"I swore I would never do anything like that again,’’ added Mr Meredith, who sustained nerve damage to his feet during the trek.

"But with the trial coming up I wanted to do one more big challenge in memory of Ben. He was a very fit and active person and no doubt would have appreciated the physical test.’’
