A Florida woman was arrested on a murder charge for allegedly luring a teen into the woods and killing him because she believes he raped her young daughter.
Connie Serbu, 41, phoned police herself after the July 2016 murder, telling them she had confronted 18-year-old Xavier Sierra about sexually assaulting her daughter, the Naples Daily News reported.
Detectives during their investigation learned the mother-of-two texted the teenager asking for help building a bunk bed in exchange for money.
“Connie Serbu stated that she planned on confronting Xavier Sierra regarding the molestation of her daughter” when she requested his assistance, according to a criminal complaint cited by the newspaper.
Joined by her 29-year-old brother John Vargas — who was intellectually disabled — Serbu left to pick up Sierra, bringing a pair of guns, two stun guns, a potato to use as a silencer, an ice pick, plastic gloves and paper towels with her.
When Sierra got into the car, Vargas questioned Sierra about the sexual assault while Serbu drove them to a wooded area. When they arrived at their destination, Sierra tried to run away but in the end, was unable to escape, according to the complaint.
Sierra and Vargas at one point wrestled over a gun. Vargas, who was reportedly struck first, suffered a gunshot wound during the scuffle and later died from his wounds.

When first responders arrived they spotted a blue four-door Hyundai parked at the end of a dirt road and then took Serbu in for questioning.

(FACEBOOK) According to the complaint she told officers “it’s all my fault” and that she didn’t want her brother to get in trouble.
She asked police to book her, telling detectives: “So, I don’t care, he raped my daughter ... she told me everything.”
Her hands also tested positive for gunshot residue, according to the complaint.
Serbu’s daughter reportedly told her mother over Memorial Day weekend in 2016 that Sierra sexually assaulted her on two separate occasions several years prior — when she was just six years old.
Police said Serbu often talked to friends and other witnesses about wanting to kill the 18-year-old. A friend of Serbu’s urged her to bring it to the police instead of taking things into her own hands, but it appears the mother had been planning the attack for months.
She allegedly told her husband in May that she was “going to do something” and that he would have to raise her children alone, according to the Naples Daily News.
Serbu was served an arrest warrant Aug. 25 for second-degree murder. She’d already been in jail for alleged custodial interference at the time.
Are they holding her until they can get her medal minted?
I wish I could get on the jury.
I sure hope these were real allegations and not made up by the kid...it wouldn’t be the first time.
If the dude really did then let her go...if he didnt...fry her...
Betcha the defense would like me on the jury.
Me too,
so I could learn if the daughter was raped or not. If not, the murderer should fry. If yes, "Not guilty, it was justifiable homicide."
ok by me!
Serbu said she had also recruited her brother, John Vargas, 29, to help with her plot. Vargas was also shot during a fracas at the crime scene and later died of his wounds.
Mother of the Year.
Awww, to heck with it. Let her off with a ticket for littering.
The judiciary is mad they didn’t get the perp so they could send him to some hospital to make him better.
Your Honor, He needed Kiling
Not Guilty, if the girl was raped.
If I were on the jury, I would make sure she wasn’t convicted. Of course that is why I would never be allowed on such a jury.
If this guy did do it, I wouldn’t convict her...
and the daughter.
Kids lie and can esily be coached to lie. False memories is a real thing.
Rape is the most lied about crime. All the law enforcement groups know it.
Brother died at crime scene.
Perp shot bro, I shot perp
Not guilty
Replace Jeff sessions with this woman immediately.
“Betcha the defense would like me on the jury.”
Me, too!
Moi aussi.
