A former soldier who was brought back from Afghanistan to face charges in the 1991 killing of another soldier was sentenced to three years in prison.
Harrison Victor Fitzwater Jr., 36, pleaded guilty this month to charges of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced Monday in the killing of Sgt. Terry Lee Webb. He claimed he shot Webb, 43, in self-defense when the older man ******ly assaulted him.
Webb vanished in July 1991 while stationed at Fort Bragg.
The case was revived in 2002 after a federal prisoner gave details of a crime that police said matched Webb's disappearance.
In 2004, fragments of Webb's remains were found buried under a shed in the backyard of the Fayetteville home that Fitzwater had shared with his mother and stepfather.
Fitzwater, an Army private serving in Afghanistan, was brought back to North Carolina to face a murder charge.
