A man has been charged in connection to a deadly fire in Darby Township that claimed the life of a 20-year-old woman with cerebral palsy.Police have arrested and charged a man accused of setting fire to a Delaware County family's home, killing a 20-year-old woman inside on Sunday.
Clark is accused of setting a fire in the three-story home on the 600 block of Sharon Avenue around midnight on Sunday. Authorities say a person escaped the flames and alerted first responders that a woman with disabilities was trapped on the first floor, but the flames prevented them from reaching her.
On Wednesday, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer and Darby Township Police Chief Mike Sousa held a press conference to discuss the case they called "one of the most evil and vile acts ever seen." According to officials, Clark set the house on fire because Drasher's older sister, a woman he worked with for the U.S. Postal Service, ended a relationship with him.
