FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A North Carolina grand jury has indicted three Fort Bragg soldiers who police had previously charged with killing two female soldiers in separate attacks last year.
The Fayetteville Observer reported Thursday that the first-degree murder indictments were issued after the grand jury heard testimony from Fayetteville police detectives who investigated the slayings.
Sgt. Edgar Patino is accused of killing Spc. Megan Touma of Cold Spring, Ky., who was seven months pregnant when she was found dead in a hotel bathtub. Touma’s family said the married Patino was the father of her child.
Sgt. Richard David Smith and Pfc. Matthew Wayne Kvapil were also indicted. They are accused of plotting the ambush stabbing of Smith’s wife, Sgt. Christina Smith.
