groom in honeymoon attack unlikely to live in Antigua
A man who lost his bride in an attack in Antigua is not expected to live. The couple, both 31, came to Antigua for a two-week honeymoon following their July 12 marriage, police said. The wife was a doctor from the Pontardawe area of south Wales, the BBC reported. Police Inspector Cornelius Charles said the motive appeared to be robbery but authorities have not ruled out other possibilities. Investigators have not confirmed whether there was more than one intruder.
The twin-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda is favored by British tourists, drawing nearly 97,000 visitors last year, an 8 percent increase from the previous year. Tourism Minister Harold Lovell met on Monday with guests at the hotel, in the island’s southwest, and said security would be increased in the area. The government offered to relocate any guests who wanted to leave.
