Newark ‘House of Horrors' Killer Gets 3 Life Sentences for Slaying of Woman, 2 Kids
A convicted killer is expected to spend the rest of his life behind bars after a New Jersey judge sentenced the 31-year-old to 375 years for a triple murder that claimed the lives of three people, including two children, in 2016.
Jeremy Arrington was sentenced Friday, more than five years after he entered a Newark home and fatally stabbed 8-year-old Aerial Little Whitehurst, 11-year-old Al-Jahon Whitehurst and 23-year-old Syasia McBorroughs.
The judge presiding over the case said Arrington created "a house of horrors," resulting in one of the worst murder cases in Essex County history. Judge Ronald Wigler handed down three life sentences (75 years) for each of the murders, and an additional 150 years for other counts including attempted murder.
Investigators said Arrington went to the Hedden Terrace home on Nov. 5 after one of the stabbing victims posted on social media that police were looking for him in a sex crime, sending the man into a fit of rage. He entered the home in the middle of the afternoon and tied up seven people inside, torturing them with kitchen knives, prosecutors argued.
