A British man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering his wife, who he reported missing as they sailed off the coast of Cuba last year, the FBI has announced.
Lewis Bennett, 41, of Poole, Dorset, was arrested while he was waiting to be sentenced at a court in Miami for smuggling stolen coins during the voyage in May from which he was rescued alone.
The gold and silver coins were allegedly from a batch worth up to $100,000 (£75,000) that Bennett reported as stolen from his employer a year before his rescue.
The FBI brought the new charge as it investigated the disappearance of Isabella Hellman. In a court document, FBI special agent James Kelley said the bureau believed Bennett knowingly and unlawfully killed Hellmann.
