Man Accused of Killing Female Airman Could Face Death Penalty
20-year-old Ashley Turner of Frederick (Maryland) was killed at a naval base in Iceland while stationed there in the Air Force.
A commander has now recommended a capital murder trial for her alleged killer, Airman Calvin Hill.
Investigators said Turner was killed because she was about to testify against Hill in a robbery case. The military plans to convene a court martial at Bolling Air Force Base near Washington, but a date has not be set.
Larry Turner, Ashley's father, told NBC25 the family has cleared a big hurdle because their daughter's murder is being tried as a capital case. He added that he hopes the military does not accept a plea bargain for Hill.
