A Colorado teenager has been jailed for 40 years for burning a baby, toddler and three adults alive in their home in a horrific arson attack.
Gavin Seymour, now 19, was 16 when he started a house fire that killed five Senegalese family members in Green Valley Ranch, Denver on August 5, 2020.
Amadou Beye, who lost his wife Hassan Diol and six-month-old daughter Hawa, called for Seymour to be executed for his crimes and told KDVR: 'This is not justice. If I could get death penalty or life sentence that is what would be justice.' He pleaded guilty to second degree murder of the five Senegalese family members and was given maximum possible sentence he could face in Denver District Court on Friday
Seymour, who was charged alongside teenagers Kevin Bui and Dillon Siebert, 19, was sentenced to 40 years in prison as well as five years of mandatory parole. Also killed in the fire were Hassan Diol’s brother, Djibril , his wife, Adja Diol and their 22-month-old daughter Khadija Kevin Bui's has also been charged for his involvement in the murders and his trial is set to be heard next week
