Man Kills Wife on Alaskan Cruise for Laughing at Him

This ship is probably registered in some other country, murder may have occurred in international waters... Where does he get tried for murder?
 
I like how the ship is giving everyone a $150 credit to compensate for the murder and attempted suicide onboard
 
That's why only philistines take cruises. Nothing like that ever happens in Indonesia, Thailand or the Phillipines.

It's actually only to compensate for the change in itinerary.

"Emerald Princess is on a 7-day roundtrip cruise that departed Seattle on July 23. The scheduled scenic cruising of Tracy Arm Fjord for July 26 was canceled as the ship sailed directly to Juneau. At 11:15pm on July 26, the ship departed Juneau for Skagway, continuing its scheduled cruise.

Guests who had shore excursions booked for Tracy Arm Fjord will have their shipboard folio credited automatically, and pre-paid shore excursions will be refunded. Additionally, in light of the impact on guest’s cruise vacations, Princess Cruises has issued each guest a $150 onboard credit."
 
That is the problem with Alaskan cruises: a seven day cruise has 2 or more days at sea. No escape for the poor guy, he had to kill her or jump overboard (but water was too cold)
 
I know someone that is on this cruise right now. The murder caused them to miss their stop in Tracy Arm which lets you see a pretty cool glacier.

Apparently they have 2 kids that were in the room just prior to the murder and ran out as the parents started to fight.

Not only is it tragic for the immediate family, but it put a damper for bunch of people that put up thousands of dollars for a vacation that is typically a bucket list item.

What a douche.
