thisisplymouth "A Westcountry couple who were attacked by an intruder with a machete at their holiday home in Tobago have spoken of the Caribbean island's violent underworld.

In August 2009 Peter and Murium Green were assaulted by a man who walked into their garden as they lay dozing.

Although the couple, from Wellington, West Somerset initially defended the island's reputation as a slice of paradise, they have now changed their minds, according a report in the Daily Mail.

The change was sparked by a visit from Tobago's minister for tourism Farid Hinds, to their Somerset home during which he brought gifts of a miniature steel drum and a sarong.


The couple said they invited him in and in return Mr Hinds asked them to return to Tobago to take part in its annual carnival.

Mrs Green, 61, told the Daily Mail: 'He wanted us to sit on a float and tell everybody what a fantastic country Tobago is.'"
