EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) A 40-year-old man arrested for allegedly setting a West Side home on fire is charged with capital murder after his brother was killed in the incident.
The El Paso Police Department says Philip Daniel Mills set fire to a residence located at 6001 Fandango Place on Thursday at 11:30 p.m. He was arrested after police suspected him of causing the blaze.
An affidavit written by an EPPD detective says Mills allegedly admitted to setting the house on fire. And, in a recorded statement, claimed to have used gasoline from a weed eater to fuel the fire.

(6,034 posts)NEW YORKResponding to recent events on Earth, God, the omniscient creator-deity worshipped by billions of followers of various faiths for more than 6,000 years, angrily clarified His longtime stance against humans killing each other Monday.
Look, I dont know, maybe I havent made myself completely clear, so for the record, here it is again, said the Lord, His divine face betraying visible emotion during a press conference near the site of the fallen Twin Towers. Somehow, people keep coming up with the idea that I want them to kill their neighbor. Well, I dont. And to be honest, Im really getting sick and tired of it. Get it straight. Not only do I not want anybody to kill anyone, but I specifically commanded you not to, in really simple terms that anybody ought to be able to understand.
