SAN DIEGO (AP) - A man has been arrested in San Diego on
suspicion of murdering his wife during a cruise to Mexico.
The FBI says Robert McGill of Los Angeles is being held in the
death of his wife, Shirley, aboard the Carnival Elation.
Carnival says the 55-year-old woman was killed during a domestic
dispute on Tuesday evening as the ship was midway through a
five-night trip to Cabo San Lucas. FBI and Carnival would not say
how she was killed.
Crew members found the body and later detained McGill in the
brig. The ship docked at its San Diego home port Thursday morning
and the woman's body was removed.
Passengers say they never got official word but rumors flew
after a security guard was posted outside the couple's cabin.
