A mom in Michigan is behind bars for allegedly setting her house on fire with her three children inside — leading to the death of her 12-year-old daughter — in what cops are calling a “shockingly cruel, unimaginable” arson attack.
Roconda Singleton, 46, “meticulously” removed all seven of her smoke detectors from her home before dousing the place in lighter fluid and setting it ablaze Saturday, according to Grand Rapids Police Department officials, who held a press conference Monday.
