Mother reportedly admits to fire that killed 12-year-old daughter

GRAND RAPIDS (WOOD-AM) - Court documents show that a mother admitted to police that she started a fire inside her family's home late Saturday so she and her three daughters would die and "be free."

That fire killed Roconda Singleton's 12-year-old daughter, Shamiya Stewart.

Stewart died on Monday.

Singleton, 46, was arraigned yesterday on a charge of first-degree arson and three charges of second-degree child abuse.

Singleton had been ordered to undergo 60 days of treatment last summer after being deemed a threat to herself and others.
