Jasmine Bell and her partner, Jeris, had to throw their children from a roof to escape the burning home.
Mohamed is Jeris’ stepbrother.
“You tried to kill my children. You tried to take everything I have in this world from me. I hope that one day, when you’re sitting there rotting in your cell, that you realize that you did have something to lose,” Bell said earlier this month.
He is expected to appear in court on June 10.
