I know we have this story somewhere but can't locate it. This is an update. I'm so happy they decided to charge this creep now with murder.

Murder Trial Begins for Scuba Diver Charged in Wife's Caribbean Drowning
Wednesday, October 07, 2009
Associated Press at Fox News

TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands — A Rhode Island man accused of killing his wife while scuba diving in the British Virgin Islands was escorted into a courtroom in handcuffs Wednesday for the start of his murder trial.

David Swain, dressed in a gray suit, sat alone at a booth behind his lawyers as the British court seated a nine-person jury.

Swain is accused of drowning Shelley Tyre in March 1999 while the couple was diving on the last day of a Caribbean getaway.

SLIDESHOW: Scuba Diving Murder Trial

Authorities in the British Virgin Islands originally ruled it an accidental drowning, but they later charged Swain with murder after a 2006 Rhode Island civil trial found him responsible. Federal U.S. agents arrested Swain at his Rhode Island dive shop in November 2007 and he was extradited to this British territory.

The picture of her drowning in her scuba gear while he swam away was horrifying.

The judge handed down the verdict today and he must face 25 years in prison for his wife's death. He is not eligible for parole.

Sometimes the system works.
