Six people are being questioned in the murder of a British bride on the final day of her honeymoon on the Caribbean island of Antigua, reports the BBC. The 31-year-old pediatrician was shot dead and her husband critically wounded in what investigators say was a botched robbery at a cottage at a private resort.
Tourists in a neighboring cottage at the Cocos Hotel Antigua, a popular honeymoon spot, said they heard screams and shots early Sunday morning. "It was an awful sound and I'll remember it forever," said a woman who had met the newlyweds. "They were a lovely couple and seemed so well suited. She talked about wanting to have children."
