Killing of 4 on Yacht in Caribbean Probed
ST. JOHN'S, Antigua — Scotland Yard investigators on Wednesday began questioning people who were sailing in the eastern Caribbean when a California couple and their British crew were slain on their yacht.
The four were found dead last weekend on a 65-foot ketch anchored off the island of Barbuda, one of two islands that make up the former British colony of Antigua. Police said they had been bound and gagged and stabbed repeatedly.
Investigators were questioning sailors and people who had known the victims--William and Kathleen Clever, of Sonora, Calif., and crewmen Ian Cridland, 35, and Thomas Williams, 22.
Bonnie Clever Floyd of Fresno said that her father, 60, a retired businessman, and her mother, 50, a retired gourmet cook, had been vacationing in the region.
