An Alabama man is facing capital murder charges after his wife of just 11 days drowned during a honeymoon scuba diving trip in Australia.

It’s taken eight years for Gabe Watson, of Hoover, Alabama, to be brought to justice in the U.S. after he allegedly turned off the air supply of new wife, Tina Thomas Watson, 26, while the couple were on an underwater adventure at the Great Barrier Reef in 2003, in the hope of gaining her life insurance policy.

Watson, 34, has already served 18 months Down Under after pleading guilty to manslaughter there in 2009, reported AL.com.  The surprisingly short sentence he received sparked outrage among Tina’s family, who joined forces with prosecutors in the attorney-general’s office to obtain a two-count capital murder indictment against Watson in his home state just before he was freed from prison.
