NEW YORK — A 15-year-old girl has been arrested for murder for allegedly using an accelerant to start a blaze in a Bronx boarding house that killed a stranger.
The girl had a dispute with someone living in the rooming house — but not with the 27-year-old man who ultimately died in the fire after it grew out of control, cops said.
Police sources describe the suspect as a chronic runaway who lives in Canandaigua, a small town near Rochester.
