A granddad who ‘tried to drown his daughter-in-law lover’ in a Florida swimming pool has returned to the UK.

Mark Gibbon has returned to his job as an electrical engineer to the stars after he avoided jail time in the United States.

Gibbon, a granddad from Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, allegedly tried to push his daughter-in-law, Jasmine Wyld, 33, under the water, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

He was staying with Ms Wyld at the Solterra Resort in Florida when an argument is said to have broken out over a will.

His nine-year-old granddaughter attempted to save her mum and jumped into the pool, but Gibbon pushed her away, police said.

He reportedly paid $26,000 to be released under bail and pleaded guilty to battery, with second-degree murder and strangulation charges
