The owner of a scuba diving shop was arrested Wednesday for the 1999 scuba diving death of his wife and could be extradited to the British Virgin Islands to face a charge of murder, federal authorities said.
David Swain, a former town councilman from Jamestown, appeared briefly before a federal magistrate, who ordered him detained pending an extradition hearing scheduled for next week. He has always denied killing his wife, Shelley Tyre, even though a jury in a civil trial last year found him responsible for her death. ......
If he did murder his wife, it is good that they are finally going to deal with him....just a great shame for her family that it has taken 8 years to bring him to justice.
