Antiguan government offers reward for capture of killer of Australian tourist

A 10 thousand US dollar reward is being offered in Antigua and Barbuda for information leading to the conviction of the person responsible for killing an Australian man.



The president of the Antigua and Barbuda Marine Association, John Duffy said the reward will be funded by boaters and harbour businesses.



Local police have said they are questioning four people in their investigation into the slaying of Drew Gollan.



Mr Gollan was shot dead in an apparent robbery last Thursday, as he walked through a dockyard area near English Harbour.



The shooting outraged boaters, business owners and local residents, who have been complaining that the government had not done enough to protect the yacht-packed English Harbour area.



The police have since increased their patrols.
