Cruise ship security personnel who found a man in his cabin near his wife's bloodied body said he told witnesses, "She would not stop laughing at me," court documents reveal.
A federal criminal complaint released Thursday charges Kenneth Manzanares with murder in the killing aboard the Emerald Princess in U.S. waters off Alaska Tuesday night. Princess Cruises says Kristy Manzanares, a 39-year-old Utah woman, died in the attack that's believed to have resulted from a domestic dispute.

Kristy Manzanares was found in the cabin dead with a severe head wound, and "blood was spread throughout the room on multiple surfaces," the affidavit said. Kenneth Manzanares was in the cabin with blood on his hands and clothing, a responding security officer told the FBI agent who signed the affidavit.
The security officer handcuffed Kenneth Manzanares and secured him in an adjoining cabin. Witnesses who entered the room before the officer arrived told the officer they found Kenneth Manzanares with blood on his hands and clothing, according to the affidavit. One witness told the officer he saw the woman lying on the floor covered in blood, and when he asked Kenneth Manzanares what had happened, Manzanares replied, "She would not stop laughing at me."
The witness said Kenneth Manzanares then grabbed the victim's body and dragged her towards the cabin's balcony, the affidavit says. The witness then grabbed then victim's ankles and pulled her back inside the cabin. Security arrived shortly afterward.
Later, when Kenneth Manzanares was being processed during an FBI evidence search, "he spontaneously stated, 'My life is over,'" the affidavit said.

If I killled every woman that laughed at me, the streets would be littered with corpses.
I’m just a really funny guy :-)
One of the comments on that story was from a Marine that was in a bad marriage and after one incident he told his then wife to STFU or call a divorce attorney and walked out, had a beer, slept over his friends house and the next day started the divorce process, seems like that was a better way to handle this.
Look, many a woman has pissed me off, for some odd reason they love to push a mans buttons and I am sure the Freeper women can agree to that, but killing is not the way, better to walk away, its better that way.
He filed for bankruptcy, so money problems. My guess is he was planning on suing the cruise line for her 'accidental death'.
“One day, he may have to answer that in court. He will probably say ‘I don’t remember, Judge. “That wasn’t really me!”
“I snapped” seems to be the go-to phrase these days.
as good a theory as any!!!
(so he’s NOT crazy, but devious!!)
“Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.”
Why do you write he is Mormon ?
Unless you are Jodi Arias.
Good point. I quoted it because it’s one of those things people say, like taglines.
I’m sure the last part was to hide the evidence. He definitely was not in the right mental state for even committing the crime, much less in front of his children, but they go away on an anniversary trip and this happens? My guess again is all 3 (drugs, alcohol, cheating).
Indians cant’ drink. My godmother was married to a Indian who turned into a monster with one drink. She had to flee the house and he went back to the reservation to drink himself to death. Years later the kids would speak about him the way kids speak about the boogey man.
We only have his word for it that she was laughing. Who knows what his poor daughters are telling the police now about what they saw.
Blood all over the place would suggest he didn’t plan very well if that were the case.
Hmmmm FBI involved here but not with Seth Rich.....
