Motive behind murder of Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen revealed in court filing

The chilling motive behind the brutal murder of Fort Hood servicewoman Vanessa Guillén has been revealed in a new court filing.

Guillén was 20 years old when she was bludgeoned to death with a hammer by her fellow soldier, Aaron Robinson, also 20, at an armoury in Fort Hood, Texas in April 2020.

The young soldier was initially reported missing, and her disappearance sparked a widespread search movement, but it wasn’t until 30 June that her dismembered remains were uncovered by investigators at Leon River in Bell County, Texas - about a half-hour drive from where she was last seen alive.

In a document filed in federal court by the Texas Department of Public Safety on 19 May, detectives describe an interview that took place with Cecily Aguilar, Robinson’s married girlfriend at the time of the ruthless killing and the only person to have been charged in relation to Guillén’s murder.
