U.S. television producer Bruce Beresford-Redman has been charged with killing his wife Monica in Cancun in April, Mexican officials said.

ABC News said an arrest warrant for murder was issued Monday for Beresford-Redman.
Beresford-Redman is known for his work on the reality TV programs "Survivor" and "Pimp My Ride."
His attorney, Richard Hirsch, who told ABC News Beresford-Redman is not guilty, has said in the past he would fight the producer's extradition to Mexico if he is charged.
"I am devastated at (Monica's) loss and I am incensed at the suggestion that I could have had anything to do with her death," Beresford-Redman said in a statement. "I am innocent. My children have had one parent taken from them by a senseless act of violence. I implore the Mexican authorities not to take their remaining parent by a miscarriage of justice and to do what is right not just what is expedient."
