We came home from Maine yesterday afternoon, and for the next hours I was absorbed in my laptop as I didn't have it with me all weekend...and I ran across the just-happened story of Catherine and Ben Mullany.
You can read it here, here and more here - but let me give you a quick summary:
*******************************************************
They got married on July 12, in England, both 31. Two days after their marriage they flew to Antigua for a two-week honeymoon. On their last night of vacation, just a day or two ago, around 5am, a person - or persons - broke into their resort room and shot both of them in a botched robbery attempt. She died instantly from a shot to the head, he was shot in the neck and is hospitalized. Today they're saying the bullet traveled and lodged in his brain and he's showing no brain activity.
*******************************************************
Can you stand how absolutely sad this story is? So sad, so disgusting, so scary. It's a fucking nightmare. I just feel for their stunned families.
Of course once I read this story I lost myself in the Googled world of other horrific things that have happened to tourists in the Caribbean. This is the crap that sits in my head all day.
