Soldier in Afghanistan Faces U.S. Charges (not due to war crimes)

Soldier in Afghanistan Faces U.S. Charges

By WILLIAM L. HOLMES, Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. - A soldier serving in Afghanistan (news - web sites) has been charged with murder in the 1991 death of a soldier whose remains were found last month under a shed in Fayetteville, police said Wednesday.

Pfc. Harrison Victor Fitzwater Jr., 34, was being returned Wednesday to Fayetteville, according to Fayetteville police spokesman Sgt. Alex Thompson. Fitzwater was stationed in Hawaii before leaving for Afghanistan, he said.

No other service details, including his unit or how long he was based in Hawaii, were immediately available.

Fitzwater is accused of killing Sgt. Terry Lee Webb, 43, who vanished in July 1991. Webb's remains were found March 31 near a home where Fitzwater once lived.
