It’s all a set up.

That’s the argument lawyers for Bruce Beresford-Redman plan to use if their client is ever extradited to Mexico on first-degree murder charges.

The former Survivor producer is the prime suspect in the April death of wife Monica, who was found in a sewer near the Cancun hotel where she and Bruce were vacationing, strangled to death.

Since then, Beresford-Redman has proclaimed his innocence, while the victim’s sisters have made no secret over their beliefs that Bruce is responsible for Monica’s death.

Now, following an unusual hiccup in the case that proves Mexican authorities confiscated Bruce’s cell phone last month and made thousands of dollars worth of calls on it, a source tells TMZ exactly what the suspect’s defense will be:

Beresford-Redman’s attorney will claim police are in need of a scapegoat because there were two deaths aside from Monica’s at the Cancun hotel in question, along with an alleged rape by an employee.

With tourism in danger, the lawyer will state, Bruce has been made the fall guy.

Meanwhile, a private funeral service is scheduled for Monica tomorrow. Bruce is not invited.

Bruce Beresford-Redman has been released from the custody of Mexican authorities - but the former television producer is still considered the prime suspect in the recent death of his wife, Monica.

Last week, Monica’s body was discovered in a sewer near the hotel where Bruce and her had been vacationing in Cancun. Witnesses had spotted the pair arguing a couple nights earlier, and Bruce was found with scratch marks on his neck.

Soon after thie grisly case came to light, Monica’s sister (Carla Burgos) went on record with this bombshell: Bruce had been having an affair.

Now, Radar Online reports the identity of this mistress to be Joy Pierce.

Pictured: Bruce Beresford-Redman and his late wife, Monica. The former is a person of interest in the latter’s death.

Pierce and Beresford-Redman first worked together in 2005 on The Contender. They also collaborated on a USA network show, titled Crash Course, last year. Their affair ended just months ago, sources told Radar.

“That’s why they went to Mexico - because she decided she wanted to try and reconcile the marriage and she believed he was done with the other woman,” Burgos said. “He told her, ‘I love you, I want to be with you.’ Monica really believed Bruce didn’t want to be with the other woman.”

Pierce has not been reached for comment.

Bruce Beresford-Redman, a former producer on Survivor and Pimp My Ride, has been detailed by Mexican police.

He’s suspected of killing his wife.

Earlier today, the body of Monica Beresford-Redman was discovered in a sewer at the Moon Palace resort in Cancun, where the couple had been on vacation.

According to Bello Rodriguez, the attorney general for the area, a security guard at the hotel witnessed Bruce and Monica arguing Monday night and added that Beresford-Redman tried to hit his wife.

Beresford-Redman, who reported Monica missing on Tuesday, has been detained as a person of interest in the case. Officials conducting toxicology tests to see if he had consumed drugs in the past week report that he had scratches on his neck.

No cause of death has been determined.
