Double child murder suspect blames 'celebrity human trafficking ring' for his deadly arson
A Fresno man who set fire to his family's home and killed two young children told investigators he had no regrets and did it to expose a celebrity human trafficking ring.
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Fresno man who set fire to his family's home and killed two young children told investigators he had no regrets and did it to expose a celebrity human trafficking ring.
Defense attorneys are setting up an insanity defense for the defendant, who could potentially face the death penalty.
Calyx and Cataleya Hurtado were 5 and 18 months old, respectively, when their uncle set their home on fire and watched them dying five months ago.
Hurtado admitted to setting the bedroom on fire and watching as the kids started struggling to breathe before their mother tried to stop him.
"I poured gasoline at the bottom of the door," Hurtado said. "I started the fire. She tried to put it out. She was acting very nonchalant. She didn't know what was wrong. She was asking me what was wrong. I knocked her over and poured gas all over her body."
The mother suffered serious burns but survived.
