Clint Nigel Alexis, 25, of Argyle, Tobago, is expected to be in a Scarborough Magistrate's Court Monday on two charges of attempted murder. The charges stem from a brutal cutlass attack on British couple Peter and Murium Greene in Tobago two Saturdays ago. Police say he has confessed to the crimes.
Alexis was charged on Friday after a team of detectives from Trinidad interviewed him.
The couple suffered severe chop wounds following the attack outside their home in Bacolet on August 1 and had to be airlifted to Trinidad for treatment at the Mount Hope hospital. Peter Greene is in a medically induced coma; his wife's condition is reported as stable.
Following the attacks the British Foreign and Commonwealth office issued a travel advisory warning citizens about the risk of being attacked by criminals if they visited Trinidad and Tobago and pointed in particular to Tobago.
