Teenage Girl Charged With Murdering 19 in Revenge Attack at Guyanese Boarding School
- A 15-year-old girl has been charged with starting a fire that killed 19 people at her boarding school in Guyana.
- The fire was allegedly set in retaliation after the school administrator confiscated the girl's cellphone.
- Eighteen students and a 5-year-old boy died in the fire, and another victim died later in the hospital, bringing the total death toll to 20.
- The locked doors prevented students from escaping the deadly fire that may have otherwise been survivable.
- If convicted, the girl could face life in prison for what is considered Guyana's deadliest fire in recent memory.
