Former Fort Campbell Soldier Faces Premeditated Murder
- {Kentucky}...Brent Burke, a former Fort Campbell soldier accused of double murder, has been charged by the U.S. Army with premeditated murder under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Last month, charges were dropped against Burke in civilian courts, but he was released into the custody of Fort Campbell officials where he previously served as a military police officer. Burke has been tried four times in the September 2007 shooting deaths of his estranged wife, Tracy Burke, and her mother-in-law, Karen Comer, in Rineyville in Hardin County. There have been two mistrials and two hung juries in the case.
