Man ‘strangled girlfriend and pushed her off balcony on Carnival cruise ship to her death’ – The Sun

A 55-YEAR-old man admitted to strangling his longtime girlfriend and pushing her off a Carnival cruise ship balcony to her death.

Eric Duane Newman allegedly used both his hands to choke Tamara Tucker, 50, after they started arguing in their cabin in January 2018.


During the struggle, he is accused of shoving Tamara over the railing of their 13th floor balcony.

Tamara died of blunt force trauma after plunging onto the 11th deck of the Carnival Elation cruise ship just before midnight on January 18.

At the time, the cruise ship was sailing on the high seas heading for the Bahamas.

The ship was approximately 30 nautical miles off the coast from New Smyrna Beach, Florida, when Tamara died.


Newman pleaded guilty in federal court in Kansas to one count of murder in the second degree for killing Tamara with "malice aforethought," the Department of Justice revealed.

His sentencing is scheduled for March 18, 2020, before Chief U.S. District Judge Julie A. Robinson.

Despite shoving his girlfriend to her death, Newman wrote to a Facebook group in honor of Tamara, just months after her death.
