Murder Trial For Former Ft. Campbell Sergeant Continues
KENTUCKY....
Two Kentucky State Police Troopers testified Thursday in the double murder trial of Brent Burke, the former Ft. Campbell sergeant accused of killing his estranged wife, Tracy Burke, and her former mother-in-law, Karen Comer, in their Rineyville home in 2007. Jurors watched an edited video of the crime scene made by police on Sept. 11, 2007, that included footage of the victims' bodies. Tracy Burke, who was shot in her head and arm, was on the floor just inside a bedroom, while Karen Comer was found on the floor in the kitchen with fatal gunshot wounds. Trooper Eric Hines testified he noticed a dead dog laying just outside of the back door. Tracy Burke's three children had spent the night hiding upstairs.
