UK tourist on vacation in Florida charged with trying to drown daughter-in-law in fight at lux resort

An Englishman’s getaway across the pond ended with him in a jail cell with an attempted murder charge — after he allegedly tried to drown his daughter-in-law in the pool.

Mark Raymond, 62, from Beaconsfield, England, allegedly held his daughter-in-law’s head under water at the luxury Solterra Resort near Orlando — as his terrified 9-year-old granddaughter fought to stop him, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said.

“The victim told detectives that she and Gibbon began arguing about his grandchildren,” the office said in a release.

Raymond allegedly kept shoving his daughter-in-law’s head under the water, “preventing her from breathing,” the sheriff’s office said.

The struggle continued even after his 9-year-old granddaughter leaped into the pool to save her mom, according to cops.

He finally released his daughter-in-law after two bystanders called the cops, authorities said.

Raymond has been charged with two counts of battery and one count of second-degree murder.

The alleged crime happened at the Solterra Resort in Davenport, a sprawling luxury getaway that offers private villas — with prices of up to $800 a night.

The resort’s massive pool has artificial rock features, a water slide, and a lazy river.
