Bruce Beresford-Redman extradited to Mexico
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (BDCi) – Former ‘Survivor’ producer Bruce Beresford-Redman, who is accused of killing his Brazilian wife Monica in Cancun, has been extradited from Los Angeles to Mexico to stand trial.
He is accused of murdering his wife, Monica Burgos, while on vacation with the couple’s two children in 2010.
Monica’s family members say they are pleased to see justice is being carried out, and they believe Beresford-Redman may be guilty.
They say that six weeks before Monica’s murder, she confessed that her husband was having an affair.
Monica’s sister, Jeane Ferreira Burgos, said in a sworn statement that Monica confronted her husband and he apologized.
When she learned that he still had contact with the mistress, however, she asked for a divorce, according to the complaint.
Bruce’s mother Juanita believes that her son did not do this. “One of the prime reasons is he adores his children, as did Monica, and he would never have taken the mother they adored away from his children,” she said.
Monica’s badly decomposed body was discovered April 8 in a sewer at the Moon Palace Hotel on what would have been her 42nd birthday. An autopsy revealed that the cause of death was asphyxia by suffocation.
