Latvia, formerly part of the Soviet Union, is becoming an increasingly important destination for British holidaymakers and is one of the most popular places for Stag Nights. The expat community in Latvia has continued to grow. Many Brits as well as people from all round the World have decided to make Latvia their home.
It is therefore with sadness that we hear of unconfirmed reports that Timothy Harper a retired British expat has been murdered in Riga, Latvia. There is currently little or no information about this in the local Latvian media. We extend our sympathy to his family at this difficult time.
Fortunately, this happens very, very rarely. However, greater care should be taken when going abroad to an unfamiliar place
