TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier who admitted strangling his wife pleaded guilty Wednesday to murder and domestic violence charges.

The News Tribune of Tacoma reports Sheldon Plummer calmly told the Thurston County Superior Court judge, “guilty, your honor.”

Court papers say Plummer told detectives he strangled Winter Plummer after she attacked him with a knife during an argument at Feb. 19 at their apartment near Lacey. Detectives found her body on April 23 in a storage container in the garage.

Thurston County prosecutors are recommending a 14-year prison term when the 28-year-old is sentenced Aug. 20 in Olympia.

Plummer and his 27-year-old wife had both served in Iraq. They have a 2-year-old daughter.
