GOODFIELD (WEEK) — A 9 year old is to be charged with murder in the Goodfield mobile home fire that killed five in April.

According to Woodford County State’s Attorney Greg Minger, the juvenile is set to be charged with five counts of first-degree murder, two counts of arson and one count of aggravated arson.

It’s unclear whether he will be tried as a juvenile or as an adult.

A neighbor said the family is still trying to cope with this new information.

Liza Munoz said the child will need serious therapy.

“He’s going to need some way to cope with that,” she said. “I don’t think he understands what he’s really done.”

“You know what I mean?” Could you imagine a child doing that? He’s gonna need it for a long time and I think that he should be followed well into his 30s or 40s you know? He should be on probation for a long time for this. It shouldn’t just be until he’s 18.”

Two adults and three children were killed in the April 6 fire at Timberline Trailer Court.

Kathryn Murray, 69; Jason Wall; 34; Rose Alwood, 2; Daemeon Wall, 2; and Ariel Wall, 1 were pronounced dead at the scene.

Escaping the fire were Katrina Alwood and another child.

Just weeks after the fire, Woodford County Coroner Tim Ruestman issued his findings, which ruled the deaths as homicides. The official cause of death the coroner reported was homicide by smoke inhalation.

At about 11:15 a.m. Saturday, April 6, residents could see flames coming from the engulfed trailer. At 11:55 p.m., Coroner Ruestman pronounced the five inside dead.

The suspect, if convicted, could be put on probation for at least five years, but not beyond the age of 21, according to the state’s attorney. Prison time is not an option.
