Reports are that three men used a rowboat to enter his boat during the pre-dawn hours and Khokhlou injured during the ordeal.

An abandoned rowboat was later found in the water off the North Leeward town with a cutlass inside.

Police are investigating.

In March, Martin Griff, a 49-year-old accountant of Germany, died when unknown assailants attacked him aboard a yacht at Wallilabou, shooting him in the throat.

One reply on “Frenchman injured in yacht attack in North Leeward”

  1. I have been preaching about this issue for more than 30 years. I will advise the yacht’s people to stay away from SVG until the government address this horrendous crime issue.
