PYEONGTAEK, South Korea — Army Capt. Christopher Gray will face court-martial on charges he killed his wife, the U.S. military in South Korea said Thursday.

Gray has been in pretrial confinement at Camp Humphreys since May 9, the day his wife’s severely decomposed body was found off a roadside in Waegwan.

Prosecutors have accused Gray of killing his 27-year-old wife, Lea Gray, on April 20 in their Camp George apartment in Daegu with a lethal dose of an over-the-counter medication, then stuffing her body in a suitcase and depositing the corpse north of town.

Those accusations came last month during a two-day pretrial hearing at Camp Henry. Prosecutors said Gray killed her because he was outraged by her continual marital infidelity and deceit.

Gray is charged with premeditated murder, obstruction of justice and conduct unbecoming an officer.
