15-year-old girl faces homicide, arson charges for deadly Bronx house fire

NEW YORK — A 15-year-old girl has been arrested for a shocking murder in which an accelerant was used to start a blaze in a Bronx boarding house that killed a stranger, according to cops.

The girl had a dispute with someone living in the rooming house — but not with the 27-year-old man who died in the fire after it grew out of control — police said.

Cop sources described the suspect as a chronic runaway who lives in Canandaigua, a small town near Rochester.
