An agreement has been reached regarding the pension of Kevin Burnham, the former Springfield police officer charged with theft who died of an apparent suicide on the same day he was scheduled to enter a guilty plea.
Barbara Burnham will return roughly 75-thousand dollars, the remaining balance of Kevin Burnham's contribution to his pension fund, and will no longer receive cash benefits from the city, per terms of the settlement announced on Wednesday.
Burnham allegedly stole almost 400-thousand dollars from the Springfield PD's evidence room. Barbara Burnham will be allowed to stay on the city's health care plan.
