Convicted murderer Stephen Hayes has just been sentenced to death by a Connecticut jury for the horrific home invasion that he and his accomplice Joshua Komisarjevsky committed a little more than three years ago.
On July 24, 2007, school nurse Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, was raped and strangled to death, her two daughters Haley, 17, and Michaela, 11, were also sexually assaulted and died of smoke inhalation as their assailants attempted to burn the crime scene to the ground. The lone survivor of the attack, William Petit was badly beaten and required a lengthy stay in the hospital. The ordeal lasted for more than six hours.
Joshua Komisarjevsky, 26 and Steven Hayes, 44 were arrested for the brutal crimes after hitting several police cars in their attempt to escape in the Petit’s car. Both were on parole and have extensive rap sheets, including more than 20 burglaries between them.
These two human predators met in 2006, while living in a drug treatment center in Hartford, Conn. The two also confessed to two other neighborhood break-ins the night before breaking into the Petit‘s home.
Though in 2002, a Bristol Superior Court Judge called Komisarjevsky “a cold calculating predator,†he was allowed to prowl the community once again. Presumably, he will now be dealt with harshly and never harm another family...Too bad for the Petit family that did not happen sooner.
Connecticut last carried out an execution in 2005.
