Ex-NFL player Kevin Ware Jr. sentenced to 30 years for murdering girlfriend Taylor Pomanski, burning her corpse

Former NFL player Kevin Ware Jr. has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for brutally murdering his girlfriend and then setting fire to her corpse.

Ware, 41, a former tight end for the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers, reached a deal on Wednesday with the prosecution in exchange for pleading guilty to the 2021 murder of his 29-year-old girlfriend Taylor Pomanski.

Pomanski disappeared under suspicious circumstances after she was last seen at a party at her home in Houston, Texas, on April 25, 2021, NBC Houston reported.

Her remains were found in December 2021.

Ware had “cut her with a knife, hit her with a blunt object, strangled her and then burned her corpse,” court documents revealed.

He was indicted for murder and tampering with a corpse in connection with Pomanski’s death on July 28, 2021.
