A onetime American reality television producer was convicted Thursday of murdering his wife during a 2010 Cancun beach vacation, a state prosecutor said.
Bruce Beresford-Redman was convicted and then sentenced to 12 years in prison by Judge Víctor Manuel Echeverria Tun, Quintana Roo state prosecutor Gaspar Armando Garcia Torres said.
The onetime “Survivor” producer was on vacation in Cancun with his wife, Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman, and their two children in 2010 when her body was found in a sewer cistern at the resort where they were staying.
The vacation was supposed to be an attempt to repair their marriage after she learned her husband had cheated on her.
The family of Burgos issued a statement through their lawyer, Alison Triessl, late Thursday.
“It has been nearly 5 years since they lost their beloved sister,” Triessl said. “Not a day goes by that they don’t miss her terribly and nothing will bring her back, but they can finally say that she has received the justice she deserved.”
Stephen Jaffe, a spokesman for Beresford-Redman’s U.S. attorneys, said Beresford-Redman’s lawyer in Mexico would comment Friday on regarding an appeal.
