LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A former Falls City man has been given life in prison for killing his wife.
34-year-old Kevin Miller, of Lincoln, was sentenced on Tuesday in Lancaster County District Court. He'd pleaded no contest and was convicted of first-degree murder and use of a firearm.
Police arrested Miller on Dec. 7, just more than a week after his 28-year-old wife, Kelsey Miller, was reported missing. Her body parts were found the day before in a storage shed in northeast Lincoln, where police say they also discovered four hand saws, a knife, air fresheners, a machete, buckets and several plastic containers.
Miller told investigators he hit his wife with a baseball bat before firing shots into her head, chest and left arm. Police say Miller dismembered his wife's body in their home.
