A PENSIONER has drowned in the Caribbean.

Nightra Patterson, 75, visited Questelles Beach in St Vincent and the Grenadines with a relative for a swim on Wednesday.

A police spokesman said: “While swimming, the deceased apparently developed difficulty and her body was later discovered floating in the water.

“She was eventually pulled out and pronounced dead a few moments later.”

Nightra lived in Campden Park on St Vincent with her husband, having moved there from London five years ago.

Sister Simone St Catherine, 55, said she was from the Windrush generation.
