Phillip Edward Bowers, 34, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury with a deadly weapon and aggravated kidnapping stemming from three days in 2019 in which he tortured his wife in front of three children.
In March 2019, Bowers' wife was found alone in the back bedroom of a New Caney home. Her injuries indicated that she had been severely beaten for several days. She was hurt so badly she wasn't able to provide information about the assault. She was taken to an area hospital, where doctors began life-saving treatment.
Investigators say Bowers beat and tortured his wife in front of his children for three days. Evidence showed that Bowers used his hands, feet, steel-toed boots, a large flashlight, a box cutter and a vinyl jump rope to assault her. Physicians also noted that there was evidence that the victim had suffered previous assaults that required medical treatment.
