‘Survivor’ producer convicted of murdering wife on beach holiday

A former Survivor producer has been convicted of murdering his wife during a 2010 Cancun beach holiday, a state prosecutor said.

Bruce Beresford-Redman was sentenced to 12 years in prison by Judge Víctor Manuel Echeverria Tun, Quintana Roo state prosecutor Gaspar Armando Garcia Torres said.

The American producer was on holiday in Cancun with his Brazilian-born 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 break was supposed to be an attempt to repair their marriage after she learned her husband had cheated on her.
