Cruises typically mark either the beginning of a relationship or the end.  In this case, it clearly was the end of this marriage.  New details are starting to emerge from this crime.  Allegedly, the husband used his bare hands to murder his wife.  There had to be some serious anger in this guy.

Read the entire story here:

Shirley died from strangulation and blunt force trauma.

A school teacher accused of killing his wife while on a luxurious Mexican cruise allegedly told investigators that he killed his wife “with his bare hands,” according to court documents filed late Friday.

McGill was distraught during the brief hearing and argued with federal public defenders about whether he could make a statement to the court as his family members sobbed in the gallery. He appeared without handcuffs and wore a white jumpsuit…

Robert John McGill, 55, of Los Angeles, “stated he killed his wife in the bathroom of their cabin with his bare hands,” FBI Special Agent James B. Stinnett wrote in a probable cause affidavit. The document was attached to a criminal complaint charging McGill with one count of murder in the death of his wife, Shirley McGill.

Stinnett also wrote that McGill was informed of his Miranda rights and he replied that he understood those rights and was willing to answer questions without the presence of an attorney.

U.S. District Magistrate William McCurine Jr. entered a plea of not guilty on McGill’s behalf, as is common practice in federal court at initial appearances.
