WINNIPEG, Manitoba, July 17 (UPI) -- A Canadian woman was charged with murder and attempted murder in a fire that killed four people and critically injured two others, Winnipeg police said Sunday.
Lulonda Lynn Flett, 40, of Winnipeg, who was arrested at a bar, was named in four counts of second-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
Police said a witness saw someone use a flammable substance to ignite the rooming house fire early Saturday, the CBC said.
Authorities said the fire likely started near the front entrance, possibly on the veranda, blocking an escape route.
Police said Flett knew someone living at the rooming house, which was often home to people with addictions, the network said.
The names of the three men and woman who died and two men injured had not been released.
