Cruise ship murder: Court docs reveal new details

A Texas man is in custody on a murder charge after he allegedly struck and strangled his wife while on a cruise, according to federal authorities.

The suspect, 48-year-old Jason Watford of Tyler, allegedly told authorities that an argument with the victim during dinner caused him to "snap," repeatedly striking and then choking the victim in their room, according to a criminal complaint.

The incident occurred on board an MSC Seascape cruise ship late Sunday, the day the couple boarded the ship, according to an affidavit in support of a criminal complaint for murder. The ship returned to Galveston, docking Monday, according to the FBI's Houston field office.
