Husband and wife's voyage ends in tragedy

A round-the-world trip for two sailors has ended in tragedy.

Roger and Margaret Pratt set sail from Suffolk last year. Their voyage came to a devastating end on Friday when 62-year-old Mr Pratt was killed when armed raiders boarded their yacht on the Caribbean island of St Lucia.

His wife - who'd just celebrated her 60th birthday - was injured but has since been released from hospital.
