Paradise Lost: the Caribbean's shocking secret
Ben Mullany, the husband of a bride shot dead on their honeymoon in Antigua, died yesterday after being flown home to Morriston Hospital in the Welsh city of Swansea.
Mullany never recovered from a coma. He had been left with a bullet lodged in the back of his brain and a fractured skull following the suspected robbery. Doctors had earlier said they were undertaking tests to determine whether he was brain dead.
His wife Catherine died instantly in the early morning attack in their hotel room a week earlier.
The couple are now expected to have a joint funeral, most likely at St John the Evangelist in Rhos, Pontardawe, where they married on July 12.
A man who drove the Mullanys on a tour around Antigua has been taken into custody as Scotland Yard detectives arrived on the island to help investigate what is now a double murder. Mr Mullany was flown by air ambulance from the Caribbean at the weekend. His wife’s remains have also returned to Britain.
On Friday, Antigua's police commissioner, Gary Nelson, said he believed the shooting of the couple may be linked to a recent execution-style murder of a Syrian immigrant in Antigua.
He said the shootings appeared to have a similar modus operandi, suggesting that the same brutal gang was responsible. He noted that all eight other murders in Antigua this year took place outside
The island is policed by a 350-strong force that is faced with a rise in crime that has "nearly overwhelmed" the nation, according to its prime minister Baldwin Spencer. He said it has no computers, no crime database and an emergency call system which "sometimes doesn't work".

As an Antiguan,
I am shocked and totally ashamed that such a thing happened on my island. I hope that all of Antigua come together to ensure that this type of thing can never ever happen again.
My prayers are for the victim's family.

What is this world coming to? We fear for the innocence of our children. We fear for their lives at college/university. Once they become adults and find their way - it's time for us to have a little peace and happiness. What a shock for their parents, families and friends. My condolences...
Rebecca, San Antonio, USA
Such a sad story - God bless their families.

Almost daily now you hear of some horrific crime and learn of the brutality that some people are capable of. What a senseless crime. My heart and my prayers go out to the families of the victims. I hope that justice is very swift and very harsh.
Melissa Karnes, Garland, TX, USA
There are no words to express how truly sad this story is. How senseless. What is this world coming to?
John, Boynton Beach, Florida, USA
This story is sad beyong comprehension. The happiest time of their lives ... and to end like this. My prayers are with their families.

This story is sad beyond comprehension. The happiest time of their lives ... and to end like this. My prayers are with their families.

There is so much evil in this world and conditions are getting worse each year. My feelings of horror cannot be put into words, that such happy people could just be wiped off the face of the earth for a robbery! I hope the authorities catch the criminals and show them no mercy.

This tragic tale has had me in tears: for the couple, their families, and the human beings (presumably) who made it happen. When you look around our beautiful world, the only bad things in it are some of its inhabitants: the two-legged ones. Why? Often because overpopulation / poverty = crime.
Lesley, Doha,
Sad to have their happiness cut short by such violence. Thoughts and prayers to the families of both.
Brindi, Logan, Utah, United States
This tragic event is so incredibly sad - sincerest condolences to the beautiful couple's families. I pray for them; I pray for humanity. I am just completely awed at what a tragedy this is. I just don't understand this world. Rest in peace.
Jill, Calgary, Canada
What a shame! My wife and I honeymooned in Antigua in 1993 and revisited the island on a cruise in 2005. It felt safe enough then, although we spent most of our honeymoon at an all-inclusive resort. Like Catherine Mullany, I also am a physician. I wonder if they were targeted as being affluent?
Dan, Syracuse, USA
Our thoughts are with both families - It will not bring them back, but I do hope they find who did this!!!
Justin & Nicky, Fordingbridge,
My heart goes out to their families.
Zsuzsa, Isaszeg, Hungary
This is the saddest story. For a family to reassemble for the couple's funeral less than a month after their wedding is heartbreaking. Perhaps the legacy from this double tragedy will be revised policing in Antigua....
Kate, Oxford,
My heart goes out to the family and friends who just three weeks ago were celebrating the wedding of this lovely young couple.
There is no punishment severe enough for the taking of another human life.
John F, London,
Beth, I couldn't agree with you more. This is a terrible tragedy! My condolences to the families of this lovely couple.

May they rest in peace together. My condolences to all who knew and loved them.
Amy Allen, London,
The killer of Catherine and Benjamin Mullany needs to be caught quickly, be put on trial, hopefully found guilty and then spend the rest of his days in prison so he can't do anyone else any harm. So sorry for such a tragic loss of two people who wanted to lead just any ordinary life.
Terry Owings, Auckland, New Zealand
What a tragedy for the families and friends of both victims. My condolences to all.
Alex, Chicago, USA

Wow, how very tragic. I just can't imagine the pain their families are going through right now. I hope the police find the culprit(s) and that the families can feel the love and support that millions are feeling for them right now.
