He was a dive instructor at Tobacco Caye and in 2002, Ian Alamilla met and married an American woman who was vacationing in Belize.
But now, after pleading guilty to murdering her in Chicago in 2010, the 35 year old Alamilla will spend a maximum of 50 years in prison.
According to reports from Chicago, he pleaded guilty yesterday to murdering his estranged wife Tara after visiting her home for a "family movie night" with their children, one of whom was celebrating her 5th birthday.
Prosecutors said after watching the movie, the children went to bed and that's when Alamilla got into a dispute with the victim and choked her to death.
Prosecutors said Alamilla also phoned Belize and "admitted to his brother several times that he strangled his wife and wanted to kill himself."
