Moment a Kentucky man confesses to police that he brutally murdered his girlfriend after taking out life insurance for “accidental death.”

Newly released bodycam footage shows a Kentucky man admitting to killing his girlfriend while being questioned by officers after his arrest.

Tommy Powell was convicted in Kenton County Court of murdering Amberly Harris after pleading guilty in August. He was sentenced to life in prison last month.

Shortly after taking out a $20,000 life insurance policy on her from Eagle Financial Services for “accidental death and dismemberment,” he shot 32-year-old Harris in the head in December 2022.

He had nominated himself as the beneficiary of her policy.

Powell later told them that he had killed his girlfriend three days before they knocked on his door. A third officer is then seen handcuffing Powell and reading him his Miranda rights.

He later told police that he “lost control” during an argument with his dead girlfriend and admitted to killing her with a “20-gauge” shotgun. They were able to recover the murder weapon in the couple’s house.

During the trial, Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders said Powell had a history of violence against Harris.

In April 2022 he was convicted of domestic violence. According to court documents, Powell punched Harris in the face and choked her until she passed out after an argument over her social media broke out at her apartment.

Harris arrived at the Independence Police Department after the attack with scrapes and bruises on his neck, face and chest.

Harris’ sister, Jessica Mann, was present at Powell’s sentencing and said his actions left her with immeasurable loss

Her killer was given a conditional discharge and ordered to undergo anger management and domestic violence treatment, which he failed to do.

Powell’s attorney argued during the murder trial that his history of mental health issues, addiction and service in the Navy should be taken into account in the sentencing.

The killer had written a letter of apology to Harris for killing her.

Harris’ sister, Jessica Mann, was present at Powell’s sentencing and said his actions left her with immeasurable loss.

“Losing my sister was like losing a piece of my heart.” “It will never grow back,” Mann said.

Powell must serve at least 20 years of his sentence before being considered for parole.
