(KNZA)--A Holton man convicted of intentionally setting a Topeka home on fire in January 2023 that killed his girlfriend and two children has learned his fate.

According to court documents, 33-year-old Kyle Tyler was sentenced Wednesday in Shawnee County District Court to life in prison on charge of first degree-murder. In addition, he was sentenced to 11 plus years in prison on two counts of aggravated arson. The sentences are to be served consecutively.

Tyler pleaded no contest to the charges in August. In exchange for the plea, four additional counts were dismissed.

Firefighters found Tyler on the back deck of the home after responding to the fire early January 20, 2023. He was treated for smoke inhalation before being taken into custody for starting the fire.

30-year-old Genny Fitzpatrick, 9-year-old Peyton Tyler and 1-year-old Kourtney Tyler died in the fire.
