A man accused of killing his wife on a cruise ship was allegedly caught trying to drag her body off the balcony.

Kenneth Manzanares, 39, is accused on killing his wife Kristy, also 39, during a seven-day cruise to Alaska from Seattle.

A witness alleges that Manzanares, of Santa Clara, Utah, said “she would not stop laughing at me,” according to a report signed by an FBI special agent.

The 39-year-old was arrested and charged with murder after the Princess Cruises ship docked in Juneau on Wednesday.
