Briton Lewis Bennett is set to admit the manslaughter of his wife Isabella after their cataraman sank off coast of Cuba
Colombian estate agent Isabella Hellmann, 41, disappeared when the couple's 37ft catamaran sank off Cuba
BRITON Lewis Bennett is sensationally set to admit the manslaughter of his wife on a holiday voyage.
Colombian estate agent Isabella Hellmann, 41, disappeared when the couple’s 37ft catamaran sank off Cuba.
Her body was never found despite a search.
Bennett, 41, had always denied killing her.
But the engineer — who lived in Florida with Isabella and daughter Emelia, two — is tomorrow expected to admit involuntary manslaughter in a Miami court.
It is understood he has agreed a plea deal sparing him a murder trial.
Bennett, of Poole, Dorset, faces a maximum eight years in jail.
Prosecutors alleged he murdered Isabella for her estate and sank the boat.
