A man was sentenced to life in
prison by a Rome court on Wednesday for the homicides of
Elisabeth, Francesca and Angelica Halilovic, three sisters aged
20, eight and four respectively who were killed in a fire in May
2017.
The victims died after the camper that they were sleeping in
with the rest of their family in a car park in Rome's Centocelle
district caught fire because a Molotov cocktail had been thrown
at it.
The convicted man, Serif Seferovic, was arrested in February
2017 in relation to another case that hit the headlines - the
theft of the bag of a Chinese student, Zhang Yao, who died after
being hit by a train as she chased the thieves in Rome last
year.
Seferovic had gotten out of jail after plea-bargain for a
two-year prison term for that case.
Seferovic's sister-in-law, Lisabeta Vicola, was handed a
20-year term in relation to the camper-fire case last year.
Seferovic's brother, Ranato Seferovic, is wanted in relation
to the case.
He is reportedly in Bosnia.
