An Italian tourist has been killed in a shark attack on a Caribbean island. Antonio Roseto Degli Abruzzi, 56, died while swimming in a popular-snorkelling area off the island of San Andres, Colombia.
It was the first shark attack recorded in San Andres. It is thought to have been a tiger shark, which is the second most deadly species after the great white.
