A Georgia woman vacationing with her husband on the Caribbean island of Grenada was brutally killed Sunday morning while walking along a sandy beach, officials said.
Jessica Colker, 39, and her husband, Brian Melito, were attacked near their oceanside resort by a man wielding a cutlass-style blade, police said.
Melito, 62, managed to escape the assault, but his wife did not. Her body was found minutes later after the suspect fled into nearby mangroves, according to local reports.
The couple, world travelers who fell in love while traveling through Central America, had been married for only two years after a three-month engagement.
They met at a dance workshop in Costa Rica and spent the rest of their vacation “dancing, talking, surfing, eating great food, swimming under the stars and generally falling in love,” according to site dedicated to their 2014 wedding.
Colker’s alleged killer, Dave Martin Benjamin, surrendered himself to St. David authorities Monday morning, MTV News Grenada reported, citing authorities.
