A wealthy stock trader has been resentenced to five years in prison for his role in the fiery death of a man who was helping him secretly dig tunnels for a nuclear bunker under a home in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D
that Beckwitt's failure to provide Khafra with a reasonably safe workplace in the tunnels constituted gross negligence.
Dia Khafra, Askia’s father, expressed frustration with Beckwitt’s “light” sentence and said he feels as if his family has been “stabbed with the knife of victimization all over again.” Prosecutors said the extreme hoarding conditions in the home prevented him from escaping. At trial, Montgomery County prosecutor Marybeth Ayres said Beckwitt sacrificed safety for secrecy and created “death trap” conditions in the house.
“This was an accidental death, pure and simple, and it wasn't intended,” Bonsib told the judge on Tuesday. Khafra worked in the tunnels for days at a time, eating and sleeping there and urinating and defecating into a bucket that Beckwitt lowered down to him. The tunnels had lights, an air circulation system and a heater.
