ALFRED, Maine (AP) – A Wells woman has now been charged with murder for allegedly dousing her husband with gasoline and setting him on fire while he slept.

A York County grand jury on Wednesday indicted 42-year-old Kimberly Spampinato on murder and arson charges.

Spampinato was initially charged with attempted murder and arson after her husband, Christopher Spampinato, was burned over 85 percent of his body shortly after midnight on Jan. 8. He died Jan. 17 in a Boston hospital.

According to court documents, Spampinato allegedly poured gasoline on her husband and set him on fire using a lighter and newspaper.
