Honeymoon over for runaway bride

A JAMAICAN bride who allegedly married her elderly Scottish husband to get her stay could be facing deportation after ditching him hours after landing.

The Home Office has warned that Patrice Chambers, 24, could be sent back for breaching the terms of her visa.

It said marriage alone was not enough to keep her in the country and that couples had to live together for a minimum of two years before they'd be considered for indefinite leave to remain.

Jilted groom, Johnny Gannon, 57, paid £5,000 for a visa so Chambers could join him at his council flat in Perth, Scotland, following their wedding on the Caribbean island a few months earlier.

But on the same day Cumper joined her husband on Saturday afternoon (July 16) she announced she was leaving.

The heartbroken charity worker poured his heart out to the Daily Record saying he believed his young bride was heading to Bristol to be with her Jamaican boyfriend who he claims hatched the scam.

Gannon, who met Chambers two years ago while on holiday, said: "I was looking forward to spending the rest of my life with Patrice but I think she had planned all along to do this.

"I feel humiliated. My relationship with her wasn’t something I’d done by mail order."

A UK Border Agency spokesperson said: "We will investigate any formal allegations that a person is not meeting the terms of their visa.

"A marriage does not give an individual the right to live and work in the UK. If a person no longer meets the requirements for which they were granted entry, their right to remain in the UK may be revoked."

Chambers had initially been refused a tourist visa to visit Scotland because the UK authorities feared she would not return to Jamaica.

It was then, Gannon said, that she started talking about marriage.

But he started to suspect her feelings were not reciprocal when he popped to the shop for 20 minutes to buy pot noodles and returned to find her leaving.

Jamaicans

It’s interesting to read the negative comments aimed at Jamaicans evoked by this story. As a person of Jamaican decent, I’m proud of the contributions of my people.
What makes me most proud of being Jamaican is the fearless nature in which we have. From the days of slavery in which the Jamaican rebelled and fought of the evil oppressors to the 1960’s where in London Jamaican’s fought of the racist thugs which inspired the Notting Hill carnival. People should realise that allot of the benefits in which they enjoy today, they would not have if it were not for Jamaicans!

Shame yet again some silly little girl wants to shame black people,If you not love him why did you come half way across the world and no there is no excuse anything that anyone tell me is rubbish. When you do something do it well,not in a way that your face and name are plasterd all over every newspaper and tv in the country. And as for your boyfriend for you to even think of letting your girl sleep/marry another man just to get into England,shame on you,there is no difference to you putting her on to the streets to earn you money...

P.S
I will be here waiting for all those who disagree with me.....

Runaway Bride

If you take a good look at the photo, the bride seem to be trying to get away even at the wedding based on her posture. Her head is tilted away from her loving husband. He is/was probably too in love with her to see her for what she was. In the photo, he happily embraced her at the waist, as if to suggest, I got me one and she is all mine.
Mr. Gannon, you can never be sure what a woman's motive is when she marries. Most times it's for the money, then love. It appears in your case it was the free trip to the UK to join her man.
Next time stick to someone more your age range, it somehow lessens the hope of this happening to you again.

Patrice may have been frighten when she see what the home look like. After all.. those who dont have the opportunity to travel, think foreign is like heaven, but when they get here, the realize that life in Jamaica is so much better, the homes are so much more comfortable than the kind of homes people live in especially in England.
Qho to say this man is giving the entire story. As much as she may be young, she could not be so stupid. He may hgave immediately started sonething she did not want to be a part of.

Mr. Gannon, I know it hurts but you will get over it say thank God you're still alive, they could have planned it differently and even kill you and take all that you possess. Let she run, she will reach where she is going, I hope when the Border Agency find her they put her on a very small banana boat with no shoe on her feet back to Jamaica. I bet she was one of the corrupt dishonest low life Jamaican who make things look bad for other Jamaican time will soon catch up on her.
