The two British tourists shot dead in a Florida ghetto could have taken a wrong turn whilst trying to find a 24-hour diner, according to police.
Detectives are trying to find out why James Cooper and James Kouzaris could have ended up on the notorious Newton projects area after a night out in the upmarket resort of Sarasota.
The Gator Bar, the last venue the pair are believed to have visited early on Saturday morning, is just 1.5miles away from a branch of IHOP, a popular 24-hour diner chain and one of the few places in the city to get food at that time.
Captain Sutton described it as “very possible” that the tourists, under the influence of alcohol, could quite easily have “lost their bearings”, taken and ended up in streets of Newtown, a low-income housing project.
The IHOP is on 12th street while the men turned off on 21st street.
