Fire kills nine in Peoria more likely arson and smoke inhalation
Peoria coroner ruled no new revelations in the fatal fire last week that killed nine people including seven children and two young mothers. Police say Joe Pickens, charged with nine counts of murder and two counts of aggravated arson, may have deliberately started the blaze after an earlier accidental claim, while faulty rented first floor detectors caused delayed alarms.
