«Breaking News» Colorado teen who raped his 10-year-old stepsister before beating her to death jailed for life

Aidan Zellmer, 17, from Colorado has been sentenced to life in jail after pleading guilty to first-degree murder in the death of 10-year-old Kiaya Campbell

A Colorado teenager who sexually assaulted and killed his 10-year-old stepsister has been sentenced to life in prison.  

Aidan Zellmer, 17, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the 2017 death of Kiaya Campbell last month in Adams County District Court.

The teen was due to be charged with first-degree murder with intent and after deliberation, and first-degree murder of a child under the age of 12 by a person in a position of trust but in exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped the additional count of first degree murder and a sexual assault charge against the teen. 

'In 27 years as a prosecutor, I have never seen a 15-year-old commit such a violent act,' 17th Judicial District Attorney Dave Young said. 

'He wanted to do this… His actions certainly dictate that he intended to kill her and it took quite an effort to do it. And then to conceal it, not only to hide the body but mislead. Certainly indicates that his brain was developed and he knew what he was doing,' said Young.

Kiaya disappeared on the night of June 7, 2017, while walking to the store with Zellmer. 

Her body was found beaten to death in a ravine the following day just a mile away from the home in Thorton where Kiaya's father lived with his girlfriend and her two sons. 

Zellmer, who was 15 at the time, initially told investigators that he and Kiaya were separated when he started running to escape a rainstorm. Neighbors disputed that there was rain in the area that night.

Due to Zellmer's age at the time of the murder, he will automatically be eligible for parole after serving 40 years in prison, but could get out in 30 years with reductions in time for good behavior.  

Zellmer will serve the first two years of his sentence in a juvenile detention facility before being transferred to an adult prison when he turns 18. 

Young said Zellmer's guilty plea offers some relief to Kiaya's family by avoiding the stress of a trial, where he would have been tried as an adult. 

'A 10-year-old's life is gone, and her parents are going to be without her for the rest of their lives,' he told CBS. 

'I think there's a sense of relief that they have some closure in the criminal justice center. But nothing we do here today is going to bring them absolute relief for what happened to their daughter.'

Aidan Z...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
