A British man on a dream sailing trip to the Caribbean to celebrate his wife’s 60th birthday was shot dead by robbers who boarded the yacht and attacked the couple.
Roger Pratt, 62, is believed to have been shot dead as he defended his wife Margaret from the gang of thieves in St Lucia.
The couple were half way through a year-long sailing trip to celebrate her milestone birthday when the yachting adventure ended in tragedy.
It emerged last night that they had been forced to stay the night in the port of Vieux Fort after being denied clearance to leave by customs officials.
Local police spokesman Anel Innocent said Mr Pratt was beaten up and shot after three armed men boarded the boat on Friday night.
Officers were said to have then killed one of the suspects in a dramatic shoot-out which followed the murder, and arrested the suspects.SOURCE-DAILYM
