Utah teen pleads guilty to murder in deaths of brothers

[Jazzy]

A Utah teenager has pleaded guilty in both juvenile and adult court to intentionally and knowingly stabbing his two younger brothers to death.

Aza Ray Vidinhar, 16, entered the plea in a court in Farmington Wednesday as part of a deal that calls for him to serve time for one count of murder in juvenile detention until he turns 21. At that time, he'll be transferred into the adult court system and serve a sentence of 15 years to life in an adult prison.

Vidinhar's younger brothers, 4 and 10, were found dead in May 2013 when his mother returned home from taking another sibling to a dance recital. At first, Vidinhar was thought to be a third victim because he was missing from the crime scene, but police found him hours later with traces of blood on him.

In signing off on the deal, juvenile court Judge Janice Frost said the agreement adequately balances public safety needs while giving Vidinhar access to treatment and rehabilitation services in juvenile court that he needs.

"It would be inhumane for any 16-year-old child to go straight to the prison without first having an opportunity for treatment and rehabilitation," Frost said. "That's what we're trying to accomplish."
