Brit Cricketer Killed In Trinidad Armed Robbery
Tributes are paid to "cool and jolly" Adrian St John who was shot in the head during an attempted robbery on Sunday evening.
West Indies star Chris Gayle reacted to the news on Twitter: "Such sad news to hear. My condolences to his family & friends."
He said Mr St John was the captain of his academy side.
One of his friends, Tommy Smith, said: "In utter shock to hear that one of my good friends Adrian has passed away. One of the funniest and nicest people."
"It was absolute pleasure to play with you pal, gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace Adrian St John."
Mr St John's cousin, Leandra Alexander, said the cricketer came to Trinidad & Tobago in February for the country's annual carnival and enjoyed his visit so much he extended his stay but was scheduled to return to the UK next Tuesday.
"Adrian was very cool and jolly," she said. "He was a darling. He was never rude, never disrespectful, he was just a cool and quiet child."
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We are in contact with local authorities following the death of a British national in Trinidad and are ready to provide consular assistance."
