Mamma i North Carolina dömd efter att ha erkänt skuld till sina barns död

Brandi Sturdivant tog på sig ansvaret för en husbrand 2022 som krävde hennes tre små barns liv. En domare dömde 32-åringen till 30 till 36 års fängelse under veckan.

Sturdivant erkände sig skyldig till tre fall av dråp i Greensboro. Erkännandet kom nästan fyra år efter branden i december 2022 i hennes hem på Grimsley Street. Hon hade lämnat sina ettåriga tvillingar och sitt fyraåriga barn ensamma i huset. Sturdivant berättade för polisen att hon satte på spisen i vardagsrummet för att värma upp hemmet innan hon gick. Grannar ringde 112 efter att ha upptäckt branden. Räddningspersonal hittade barnen inne i huset, och obduktioner visade senare att de avled till följd av rökutveckling och kolmonoxidförgiftning. Utredare fastställde att spisen inte var orsaken till branden. Den exakta brandorsaken förblir okänd, även om en bensindunk hittades på verandan.
