Woman charged with setting fire at apartment that killed 4

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A former tenant charged with setting a fire at a Massachusetts apartment building that claimed the lives of four people pleaded not guilty at her arraignment and was held without bail. Yvonne Ngoiri faced four counts of second-degree murder as well as arson and assault charges in court on Friday in connection with the May 14 blaze in Worcester. Among the victims was a man who in 2018 had sued right-wing radio host Alex Jones’ Infowars website. Ngoiri, who once lived in the building,  was taken into custody on Thursday. A telephone message seeking comment was left with the suspect’s attorney.
