A Texas cruise passenger with an abusive past strangled his wife in their cabin following an argument at dinner on Sunday— while a child witnessed the attack inside their cabin. Jason Watford, 48, allegedly killed his wife, Susan Watford, after a bust-up while eating at one of the MSC Seascape’s restaurants hours after they had boarded the Caribbean-bound vessel in Galveston, Texas, according to FBI spokesman Connor Hagan on Tuesday. The dispute continued when the pair made their way back to the cabin – and Watford admitted it made him “snap,” prompting him to lash out at his wife “multiple times” which caused her to bleed from the mouth, according to court documents seen by The Post.
