Kenneth Manzanares, 43, will spend five years on parole after serving that sentence.

Manzanares pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in February 2020 for beating his wife Christie to death after she asked for a divorce while the couple was on a cruise around Alaska in July 2017.

The couple went on a sea voyage with their three daughters and several relatives. At some point, a fight broke out between the spouses in their room. When the children were asked to leave the room, the scuffle escalated.

The children tried to return when they heard the screams, but could only watch from the outside balcony as Kenneth beat Christie to death while she was lying on the bed.

«Ничего не может оправдать жестокость, совершенную этим человеком. Теперь ему предстоит провести следующие три десятилетия за решеткой», — сказал агент ФБР Роберт Бритт.

The prosecutor's office asked for life imprisonment, but Manzanares's lawyers insisted on 7,5 years. US District Court Judge Timothy Burgess ordered a 30-year sentence.

Defense lawyers said Manzanares suffered head injuries while competing in youth sports, including football, boxing and wrestling. They advocated a commutation of the sentence on the basis of mental health problems.
