A Memphis, Tennessee man has been charged with murder in Fiji after allegedly murdering his wife while on their honeymoon at a resort in the Yasawa Islands.
Authorities allege 38-year-old Bradley Robert Dawson murdered 36-year-old Christe Chen on July 9 while the couple was on their honeymoon.
Dawson and Chen had traveled to Fiji for their honeymoon, and Dawson’s attorney confirmed on Monday that Chen’s body was found inside a hotel room, though he said he could not confirm the manner in which Chen died. Dawson maintains his innocence, his attorney says.
Last Wednesday, Dawson appeared before a Magistrates Court in Lautoka, Fiji’s second-largest city, where the magistrate confirmed that Dawson had allegedly committed “an indictable offense,” the Fiji Sun reports. The case has been transferred to Fiji’s High Court in Lautoka, where Dawson is set to appear in court again on July 27, according to the Sun.
The murder allegedly happened at Fiji’s Turtle Island Resort, a luxury island resort in the Yasawa Islands that advertises “pure indulgence, relaxation and romance at one of the most sought-after destinations in the world,” on its website.
