U.S. military authorities have charged a 19-year-old Fort Lewis soldier with premeditated murder in the death of his 18-year-old wife, officials said Thursday.
Spc. Brandon Bare, an infantryman who was wounded in Iraq, was being held in the Army post’s Regional Correctional Facility, a Fort Lewis news release said.
Nabila Bare’s body was found Tuesday in the couple’s home in the Clarkdale family housing area on post, the Army said. Officials declined to release the cause and manner of her death.
The post misspelled the victim’s name in its news release about the case Wednesday.
Nabila Bare’s father, William Neverette, who’s also a soldier stationed at Fort Lewis, said his family is in too much pain to talk about what happened. He and his wife have two other children, Nabila’s younger brothers.
Neverette declined to say much about the case Thursday except that his daughter “was a very sweet young woman.”
She was planning to attend Lakes High School in the fall to complete her senior year, he said.
“She was full of life, and for someone to take that away ripped my heart out,” Neverette said. “She was a very loving person, and a lot people loved her.”
The Army continued Thursday to withhold many details about the case. Fort Lewis officials said military police are continuing to investigate.
