This is a sad and disturbing case all the way around.
^ Kyle Alwood, 9, was charged this week with five counts of first-degree murder, two counts of arson, and one count of aggravated arson.
He cried as he appeared in court and his attorney had to explain many of the legal terms to him.
Kyle liked to light things on fire. On April 6th, he intentionally set his family's trailer home ablaze, killing his two young siblings and a cousin (1 and 2 years old), his great-grandmother, and his stepfather.
His mom Katrina Alwood, 27, escaped the flames.
