BALTIMORE (AP) — A U.S. Army sergeant's girlfriend has testified to helping him kill his soldier wife in 2015.
The Baltimore Sun reports 33-year-old Dolores Delgado testified against 37-year-old Sgt. Maliek Kearney Wednesday. Kearney is accused of crossing state lines to kill 24-year-old Army Pfc. Karlyn Ramirez. Ramirez was later found dead in her Maryland townhouse holding the couple's unharmed infant daughter.
Prosecutors say Ramirez wanted a divorce. Delgado, an Army veteran, told the court Kearney was going to kill Ramirez unless they reconciled. Delgado said she and Kearney meticulously plotted the killing and provided Kearney with a car and gun to use. Delgado said she believed the couple would make up.
Delgado and Kearney are charged with crossing state lines to commit domestic violence resulting in death. Delgado has pleaded guilty.
