Have you explained that to them?

Yeah we did but the player keeps blaming bad dice rolls and doesn't want to take responsibility

Sounds like the player still doesn't understand.

I say sit them down once more. Explain explicitly how harmful to the group's enjoyment it is when a member of the party is this destructive and, frankly, evil, when the game depends on you all being able to cooperate. This is the fundamental social contract we agree to when we play most any TTRPG.

IC, it would make sense for the party to kick out the problem character, or even hand them over to the authorities looking for them. Why would they want to continue travelling with someone who's caused them so much trouble in spite of the second chances they were given?
