STRUTHERS, Ohio - A Struthers woman is accused of setting what could have been a deadly fire.

Margaret Jackintell is jailed on four counts of aggravated arson.

Investigators say the 50-year-old woman confessed that she spread gasoline around her family's Como Street home and set fire to it Wednesday night.

Four people sleeping in the home escaped unharmed.

Police suspect Jackintell may have been trying to kill relatives to collect the insurance.
