Scotland Yard to assist Antigua

Antiguan Prime Minister, Baldwin Spencer wants Scotland Yard to help solve the murder of British bride Catherine Mullany and the shooting of her husband.



The couple was shot during a robbery at their hotel in Antigua several days ago.



A seriously wounded Ben Mullany is reportedly fighting for his life in hospital in Antigua, but is to be transferred to Wales for further medical attention.



In an address to the nation, Prime Minister Spencer said the shootings were threats to the country\'s survival, and would not be tolerated because of the negative impact on the country’s vital tourism industry.



He also announced several measures to curb an increase in gun-related and other violent crimes.
