A man has been charged in the deaths of his ex-girlfriend and two of her children whose bodies were found after a house fire in Kansas City, Kansas.
Prosecutors say Ismael Caballero. 31, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of arson. He is jailed on $1 million bond.
The charges stem from the discovery of the bodies of Yazmine Rodriguez-Santilla, 32, Amerikha Rodriguez, 14, and Jean Carlos Rodriguez, 10, by crews battling a house fire early Monday.
Prosecutors allege in charging documents that he set fire to the house as well as to a minvian.
