Bertil Fox claims the deaths of his ex-fiancee, 20-year-old Leyoca Browne, and her mother, Violet Browne, were an accident.
From Fox's Wiki page:
On May 22, 1998, bodybuilder Bertil Fox was convicted of murdering his former fiancee and her mother on the tiny Caribbean isle of St. Kitts. He was originally sentenced to death by hanging, though on Sept 27, 2002 his sentence was changed to life in prison.

BERTIL FOX CHARGED WITH DOUBLE MURDER
Nicknamed "Brutal," Bertil Fox was one of the best bodybuilders during his heyday of the 1970s and '80s. According to prosecutors, on September 30, 1997, three years after Fox retired from bodybuilding to open a gym in the Caribbean island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis, 46-year-old Fox fatally shot his ex-fiancee, 20-year-old Leyoca Browne, and her mother, Violet Browne. The first trial ended in a hung jury, but Fox was retried and convicted of the double murder. Currently serving a life sentence in a St. Kitts prison, Fox maintains his innocence (see "A Letter from Bertil," December 2005 FLEX).
