Man Arrested in 2003 Philadelphia Arson That Killed 5 People

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Apr 26, 2016, 4:04 PM ET

A man has been arrested on murder and arson charges in Philadelphia in the deaths of a boxer and four members of his family in a 2003 fire.

Homicide Capt. James Clark says the crime stemmed from "a bar fight and pride."

Thirty-two-year-old Abdu Rivera was arrested Monday over the November 2003 fire.

Clark says 23-year-old boxer John Santiago had gotten into a fight with Rivera and others outside a club, and they found out where he lived and set fire to his Olney home.
