A MUM is due to stand trial for murdering a man accused of raping her six-year-old daughter.

Connie Serbu, 43, has been charged with the second-degree murder of Xavier Sierra, 18, after allegedly luring him into an isolated area in July 2016.

Her trial is set to start in Naples, Florida, today.

Serbu reportedly told Sierra she needed help building a bunk bed, and is then said to have shot the alleged rapist to death.

She reportedly picked him up from a job interview at an animal clinic, then quizzed him about the alleged rape while driving.

On arriving at the kill site, Serbu and her brother John Vargas, 29, chased Sierra down when he tried to escape.

Sierra and Vargas wrestled with the gun, with Sierra firing six times and Vargas receiving one bullet to the abdomen.

Both men ended up dying of those injuries shortly afterwards. Serbu was still at the scene when police arrived, according to the Naples Daily News.

Cops also say she made a remorseless confession to the crime.

She allegedly told cops: “It’s all my fault. So I don’t care, he raped my daughter … she told me everything that happened.”

Serbu is said to have plotted the murder for months and to have told her husband she was “going to do something” in May 2016 after discovering the alleged sex attack.

The rape is said to have taken place in 2011.

Serbu also allegedly warned her spouse that he would end up raising their children alone.

She reportedly told friends what she was plotting, prompting them to beg her to go to the police instead.
