A Fresno man is facing arson and murder charges after being arrested on suspicion of setting a house fire that killed his infant niece and nephew and severely injured their mother.
Filimon "Robert" Hurtado, 29, was arrested on Tuesday after the Fresno Police Department said he admitted to setting the fire "because he wanted to kill everyone in the home."
Hurtado's 5-month-old nephew, Calyx Hurtado, and 18-month-old niece, Cataleya Hurtado, died in the fire, police said.
