Ollie Gobat
The brutal death of hotelier and realtor Ollie Gobat has not only shocked St. Lucia society, but sent shock waves throughout the Caribbean region and all round the world.
Ollie was a highly respected businessman and outstanding sportsman. He was one of the island’s leading businessmen and had a great future. His murder will do serious damage to the entire Caribbean region but particularly to St. Lucia in the light of other serious incidents in recent times. The circumstances surrounding his death have yet to be discovered but police have confirmed he was shot and then burned in his car not far from his home last Friday evening.
Ollie was a good friend of ours and took a leading role in Caribbean Property Magazine every year. He was also great company and we spent many happy hours with him. Words cannot express our sense of shock and sadness at this horrific incident, but we offer our sincere condolences and prayers to his family and friends at this terrible time.
