UPDATE: Remains found in Smyrna after man pleads guilty to killing wife

Officials have offered more insight into the plea deal that a Smyrna man took when he pleaded guilty to killing his wife, on Friday.

According to the Delaware Department of Justice, as a part of Cortez Hamilton's guilty plea, he was required to provide the location of Keisha Hamilton's body.

Officials say that using the information provided, State Police discovered human remains near Smyrna. Testing by the Division of Forensic Science is ongoing to positively identify the remains.

Hamilton pleaded guilty to second degree murder last Friday, after killing his wife with a hammer in front of their children in January 2015. Hamilton reportedly fled with the children afterwards. The children who were four years old and five months old at the time, were later found 24 hours later in Indiana with their father; however, Keisha's body has never been found.

When Hamilton was extradited back to Delaware, he was charged with first degree murder, child endangerment and gun possession. Hamilton, who has had two canceled trial dates, waived his right to a speedy trial.

Hamilton's sentencing is set for March 28 at 9:00 AM. He faces 15 years to life in prison.
