Thursday, May 23, 2024 - A teen in Colorado, US, faces up to 60 years in prison for killing an innocent family of five by setting fire to the wrong home in a barbaric revenge plot over his stolen iPhone.
Kevin Bui, now 20, pleaded guilty last week to igniting the
late-night blaze in a Denver neighborhood in August 2020 after using the “Find
my iPhone” app to track his stolen phone to the general area.
Bui, who was 16 years old at the time, was portrayed by
prosecutors as the ringleader of three friends who plotted the inferno
that incinerated the Senegalese family, including two baby girls
Djibril Diol, 29, Adja Diol, 23, and their 22-month-old
daughter, Khadija Diol, as well as their relative Hassan Diol, 25, and her
6-month-old daughter, Hawa Beye, were all killed in the blaze.
Three other people broke bones while escaping by jumping
from the second floor of the home in the middle of the night.
The teens were arrested about five months after the blaze.
Dillon Siebert, who was 14 at the time, was
sentenced last year to three years in juvenile detention and seven years
in a state prison program for young inmates after pleading guilty to
second-degree murder.
Meanwhile, Gavin Seymour, 19, was sentenced to 40 years in
prison in March after pleading guilty to one count of second-degree murder
Bui, who was prosecuted as an adult, pleaded guilty to two
counts of second-degree murder in a plea deal that proposes a sentence of up to
60 years in prison — 30 years for each count.
Sixty other charges Bui had faced, including first-degree
murder, attempted murder, arson and burglary, were dropped by prosecutors under
the deal.
He is set to be sentenced on July 2.
