Denver District Court Judge Karen Brody sentenced Gavin Seymour to the maximum possible sentence he faced. “This is a tragedy that is, I’m sure for everyone involved, incomprehensible,” she said. “…
Amadou Beye, center, who lost his wife Hassan Doi, 25, and 6-month-old daughter Hawa Beye, reacts at the Lindsey-Flanigan Courthouse in Denver on Friday, March 15, 2024. 19-year-old Gavin Seymour was sentenced to 40 years in prison Friday for starting a house fire that killed five members of a Senegalese family in Denver’s Green Valley Ranch neighborhood more than three years ago.
The victims’ relatives and friends called for the maximum sentence in court Friday. Hanady Diol, who lost his son Djibril and daughter Hassan in the fire, said that his children were his “hope and life” and that he has contemplated dying by suicide after their loss. He called for a life sentence. “This is by far the worst, most senseless murder investigation I have ever investigated,” Baker said. “…I can’t think of any other one that is more deserving of a maximum sentence allowed… There are five victims. Two were babies.”The five members of the Diol family who died in an August 2020 arson fire at their Green Valley Ranch home are pictured at a news conference held by Denver police Chief Paul Pazen on Wednesday, Jan.
Djibril Diol tried to lead his wife and daughter out of the house, making it down a set of stairs before they collapsed not far from the door out, prosecutor Courtney Johnston said.
