Denver Court Reaches Milestone as Kevin Bui Admits Guilt in Fatal House Fire Case
In a milestone for the Denver court, Kevin Bui, 20, pleaded guilty to starting a house fire that killed five family members nearly four years ago. He accepted a 60-year sentence. The fire, ignited by Bui and two teenagers, stemmed from a mistaken belief that Bui’s stolen iPhone was in the home, court documents revealed.
The victims, Djibril and Adja Diol, along with their children perished in the fire that Bui, Gavin Seymour and Dillon Siebert allegedly set. Siebert was swiftly sentenced to 10 years but Bui and Seymour’s cases faced hurdles due to legal debates over police tactics including a controversial search warrant involving Google. Despite these challenges, Bui’s plea agreement signals a significant step toward closure, according to the crime report of News 10.
