Nargis
Fakhri’s
sister
Aliya,
43,
has
been
arrested
in
the
US
for
‘deliberately
setting
a
deadly
fire’
in
a
garage
on
November
2
and
killing
her
ex-boyfriend
and
his
female
friend
in
Queens,
New
York.
According
to
The
Times
Of
India
newspaper,
Aliya
arrived
at
the
two-storey
detached
garage
at
about
6:20
am
and
yelled,
‘You’re
all
going
to
die
today’.
She
then
set
fire
to
the
garage,
killing
Edward
Jacobs,
35,
and
Anastasia
Ettienne,
33.
The
two
were
trapped
inside,
as
the
fire
raged
near
the
entrance,
cutting
off
their
chance
of
escape.
Queens
District
Attorney
Melinda
Katz
said
Aliya
‘maliciously’
ended
the
lives
of
two
people
and
she
was
indicted
by
a
grand
jury
on
counts
of
murder
and
arson.
If
convicted,
she
faces
a
maximum
of
life
in
prison.
Jacobs’
mother
Janet
revealed
that
her
son
had
broken
up
with
Aliya
a
year
ago
but
the
latter
was
still
trying
to
get
back
to
him.
Meanwhile,
Aliyah’s
mother
told
the
New
York
Daily
News
newspaper
that
‘I
don’t
think
she
would
be
killing
anyone.
She
was
a
person
caring
for
everyone’.
But
she
revealed
that
her
daughter
was
struggling
with
an
addiction
to
opiod
drugs.
