Former NFL player Kevin Ware Jr. has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for brutally murdering his girlfriend and then setting fire to her corpse.
Ware, 41, a former tight end for the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers, reached a deal on Wednesday with the prosecution in exchange for pleading guilty to the 2021 murder of his 29-year-old girlfriend Taylor Pomanski.
Pomanski disappeared under suspicious circumstances after she was last seen at a party at her home in Houston, Texas, on April 25, 2021, NBC Houston reported.
Her remains were found in December 2021.
Ware had “cut her with a knife, hit her with a blunt object, strangled her and then burned her corpse,” court documents revealed.
He was indicted for murder and tampering with a corpse in connection with Pomanski’s death on July 28, 2021.
