A British man is fighting for his life after being shot in the head in Antigua.
Christoper Tester, from Torquay, is said to be in a critical condition after being seriously wounded during an attempted robbery at his parents’ restaurant on Christmas Day night.
The 37-year-old is now in an induced coma at Mount St John Hospital on the Caribbean island.
An appeal has been set up by his friends to raise the £90,000 needed to fly him back home for treatment.
‘Time is of the essence,’ Charlotte Williams, a family friend, told the Torquay Herald Express.
‘Please, please can you help us to raise funds for him. They need to raise £90,000. It will save his life. Please help us perform a Christmas miracle.’
ABS Television in Antigua posted a police statement on its Facebook page that said the masked gunman shot Tester while attempting to rob the family.
The family’s restaurant page, Boxer Shack, has been converted into a fundraising page to try and raise the money
