Daily News | Two more charged in Fairhill pizza shop blaze that killed Philly firefighter Lt. Sean Williamson
Two more men are facing federal charges in connection with the June conflagration at a Fairhill pizza shop that resulted in the death of Philadelphia fire Lt. Sean Williamson, federal authorities announced Tuesday.
According to charging documents, Khalil, who owned the building, planned the fire weeks in advance along with Jaghama and others in hopes of collecting a payout on his nearly $500,000 fire insurance policy on the building. Khalil returned moments later in a car driven by the third man who has since been charged but whose name prosecutors have not yet released. The collapse that killed Williamson, a 27-year- veteran of the Philadelphia Fire Department, occurred while both men were on the scene.
He was arrested days afterward at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York after what prosecutors have described as an attempt to flee to Jordan to escape prosecution. The exact nature of the relationship between Khalil and the two men whose charges were announced Monday remains unclear, as does whether the cooperation Madden described led the newly filed charges.
