Groom grounded as wife goes it alone

A British man on his way to his honeymoon on a Cuba-bound flight instead found himself grounded in Bermuda after drunkenly threatening the flight crew, with his wife continuing on to Cuba without him, authorities in Bermuda said.

Mohammed Khelya, from ,Lancashire, had been drinking from a bottle of duty-free vodka before quarreling with his wife when he was taken in handcuffs to the rear of the aircraft, forcing its unscheduled landing, prosecutors said.

Appearing on Tuesday at a court in Hamilton, Bermuda’s capital, a contrite Khelya pleaded guilty to being drunk on the aircraft and to threatening flight staff.
