Honeymoon Killer!

Associated Press:
“An American tourist was charged with murder in Australia on Friday for allegedly drowning his wife during a honeymoon dive in 2003 on the Great Barrier Reef.
The 26-year-old woman, known as Tina, drowned while diving on a historic shipwreck near thenortheastern city of Townsville as her husband of 11 days looked on.
In the interviews, Watson said his new bride apparently had trouble a few minutes into the dive, panicked and clutched at his mask, pushing it off his face. He described seeing her, with her eyes wide and arms outstretched toward him, sinking into the deep.
The groom, an experienced diver who had completed a dive-rescue course, was acting as a so-called dive buddy for his less-experienced wife. He told police he decided to go for help rather than following her to the sea floor and attempting a rescue.
One of the dive leaders pulled Tina Watson to the surface. Efforts to resuscitate her failed.”

Jeeez, talk about getting pissed because your wife won’t go down on the honeymoon. Crikey mate.

Is he a Kennedy? Then case dismissed.
