A 61-year-old woman is accused of throwing an ignitable liquid at a man, killing him, and torching his home and a second residence with Molotov cocktails in early morning attacks in Georgia.

Hong T. Huynh faces a murder charge in the June death of Thuy Huynh, 58, and multiple counts of arson and assault. During a probable cause hearing on Wednesday, when a judge determined there was enough evidence to hold the defendant on charges, Gwinnett County fire investigator Jonathan Seibles told a judge a passerby saw a house on fire, got out of his vehicle and knocked on the door to alert the homeowner about the fire, Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB reported.

“He said a male and female came outside,” Seibles said, the outlet reported. “The husband started putting out the fire with a hose, and he was on the phone with 911. He said while he was doing that, someone came from the side of the house with a big silver pot in their hand and threw a liquid on the husband.”

The first attack happened at 5:45 a.m. on June 1 at Buckingham Court in Norcross, authorities said in a news release. Norcross is about 20 miles northeast of Atlanta.
