Man Arrested After Murder on MSC Virtuosa Cruise

A 60-year-old man died following an altercation aboard the MSC Virtuosa cruise ship shortly after departing Southampton for Bruges, with the incident occurring around 8:30pm in British waters. The ship returned to Southampton, where a 57-year-old man from Exeter was arrested on suspicion of murder. Police reported that the victim and suspect were known to each other and were reportedly part of a group of about 20 guests, with indications the group was attending a stag party. Despite efforts by a fellow passenger, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have described the incident as isolated and are appealing for information from witnesses. MSC Cruises and police continue to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation, and the suspect remains in custody.
