Man to be charged with American tourist’s murder
Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard has given instructions to charge a Rockley Vale, Scarborough, Tobago man with the murder of American tourist Christopher Brown.
Instructions were given yesterday to charge a Tobago man with murder.
Brown, 43, a builder of Silverthorne, Colorado, was vacationing in Castara, Tobago with his girlfriend when he was stabbed in the back on November 26.
He had earlier had dinner at a restaurant and was walking to another bar nearby when he was attacked.
An autopsy on Brown on Tuesday at the Scarborough Mortuary determined death was as a result of stab wounds to the back.
When Tobago police responded to the murder scene last month, they were led to a concrete track off Depot Road by residents to Brown’s body.
A knife was observed in his back. His body was subsequently identified by his girlfriend Ellie Peck of Roaring Fork in Colorado.
