DENVER -- An Iraq War veteran was sentenced to life in prison without parole Monday for murdering his girlfriend, a U.S. Air Force Airman, and trying to portray the crime as a car accident.
“Continued investigation by the Denver Police Department revealed that Walters had murdered Brashers, and drove the vehicle into parked cars to make it appear as if her death was a result of the accident,†said Denver District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough.
Robert Walters, 25, was convicted last month of first degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Brittney Brashers.
On Nov. 17, 2009, Denver Police responded to reports of a traffic accident in the 100 block of South Yuma Street which appeared to have caused Brashers’ death.“Continued investigation by the Denver Police Department revealed that Walters had murdered Brashers, and drove the vehicle into parked cars to make it appear as if her death was a result of the accident,†said Denver District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough.
Walters was also charged with solicitation to commit first-degree murder after prosecutors said he tried from jail to hire someone to kill his ex-wife who had told police he confessed to her.
He was acquitted of that charge.
