>>Coroner Says Steelton Fire That Killed Four Was Murder-Suicide
(Steelton, PA) -- The Dauphin County Coroner says the fatal fire that killed two adults and two children early last Friday morning was set intentionally in a triple murder-suicide. Investigators say 67-year-old Jafar Afshar used an accelerant to set fire to the upstairs apartment where his son, 36-year-old Saeed Afshar, and his two grandchildren were sleeping. All four were killed in the blaze. The motive for the killings remains unknown at this time. Steelton Mayor Maria Romano Marcinko says the community hurts over the losses, and that it will take time to heal.
