Sean Patterson: Personal trainer from Notting Hill shot dead while on holiday in Jamaica
Sean Patterson, 33, was gunned down by the pool of the guest house where he was staying in St James on Monday.
The family of a west London personal trainer who was shot dead while on holiday in Jamaica have spoken of their devastation.
Sean Patterson, 33, was gunned down by the pool of the guest house where he was staying in St James on Monday January 2.
His sister Sarah Wright wrote on social media on Wednesday: “Well that’s one way to start the new year, finding out your baby brother has been murdered in Jamaica.
“To say we are heartbroken is an understatement.
“You’ll get justice ikkle (little) bro.”
Local media have reported that Sean was standing on the pool deck shortly before midday when a man with a gun chased him and shot him ‘multiple times’.
He was rushed to hospital but could not be revived.
A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said it is "supporting the family of a British man who died in Jamaica and are in contact with the local authorities".
Local media said a 34-year-old man has been taken into custody.
The Gleaner newspaper reported that 198 murders were recorded in St James last year.
