A Fort Campbell soldier was found guilty of killing his wife and sentenced to 15 years in prison following a four day trial last week.

Specialist Robert Spencer Jenks III, 26, was tried at a General Court-Martial from Dec. 5 to Dec. 9 on a specification of premeditated murder (Article 118, UCMJ) and was found guilty of the lesser included offense of voluntary manslaughter.

The Panel sentenced Specialist Jenks to 15 years confinement, total forfeitures of pay and allowances, and a bad conduct discharge. The 15 years confinement was the maximum sentence of confinement under the law, according to Rick Rzepka, spokesman for the U.S. Army.

Linzi Rashae Lafever Jenks, 21, was found dead inside of her Fort Campbell home on Dec. 5, 2010.
