Coroner: Husband should be charged for killing wife
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - June 20, 2008 After a monthslong inquest, Queensland state coroner David
Glasgow said Friday there was enough evidence to justify charging
Daniel Gabriel Watson of Birmingham, Ala., with the murder of his
wife, Christina May Watson, on Oct. 22, 2003.
Glasgow says a warrant would be issued for the arrest of Watson,
who is believed to be in the United States.
Tina Watson, a novice diver, died on the Great Barrier Reef as
she swam with her more experienced husband.
Police became suspicious about Gabe Watson's involvement after
he changed his story about her death, and because an autopsy showed
no medical reason for her death and because no fault was found in
her diving equipment.
