A 32-year-old man from Indianapolis was recently charged with setting a fire on May 10 that killed two people.

According to reports, the man lived with his girlfriend and her family in Illinois. Just days before the fire, the man had complained about the landlord of the house in which they were living because he was attempting to evict them. Officials have said that they believe retaliation against the landlord was the man’s motive for starting the fire.

The 63-year-old mother of the man’s girlfriend and her 47-year-old brother died in the fire. The man was charged with two counts of murder, as well as arson to a dwelling. He is currently being held in jail without bail.
