**New York, NY** – Alia Fakri, sister of Hindi film actress Nargis Fakri, has been arrested and charged with first-degree and second-degree murder, and arson, following a fatal fire in Queens, New York. The incident, which occurred on November 23rd, resulted in the deaths of Alia Fakri’s ex-boyfriend, Edward Jacobs (35), and her friend Anastasia Etienne (33).
Prosecutors allege that Fakri, 43, intentionally set fire to a garage, leading to the deaths. The motive, according to investigators, stems from Fakri’s desire to rekindle her relationship with Jacobs, who reportedly rejected her advances.
Fakri is currently being held at Rikers Island, New York City’s largest jail. Her case is scheduled for a court hearing on December 9th. The consequences are severe; if convicted, she faces life imprisonment.
Fakri’s mother has expressed disbelief in her daughter’s involvement, stating that she doesn’t believe her daughter is capable of such a crime. The investigation is ongoing.
