A Utah man who admitted to beating his wife to death aboard a cruise ship in Alaska in 2017 was sentenced on Thursday to 30 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release.
Kenneth Manzanares, 43, pleaded guilty in February 2020 to to second-degree murder in the death of Kristy Manzanares aboard the cruise ship Emerald Princess off the southeast coast of Alaska, according to a news release from the Department of Justice. He will also be under five years of federal supervision following release. The new charges stem from the night of July 25, 2017, when Kenneth Manzanares, his wife and two of the three couple's daughters were in a room on the ship.
