Slain Officer's Husband Tells Story of Returning from War, Finding Christ

Benjamin Sebena told the story of his ordeal as a Marine in Iraq and subsequent growth in his faith in God.

Benjamin Sebena, husband of slain Wauwatosa police officer Jennifer Sebena, is an Iraq war veteran who suffered serious shrapnel injuries in an incident there. He tells his story in a YouTube video that also discusses his courtship of Jennifer and growth in his faith.

The video was posted by No Regrets Conference. The YouTube home page says it is "committed to equipping local church leaders to disciple men who disciple men," in part. The video is from 2010.

Sebena was being held Wednesday at the West Allis Police Department following the death, according to a police report, though the report did not indicate he had been arrested.
