ALFRED (AP) – A Wells woman accused of dousing her husband with gasoline and setting him on fire while he slept has pleaded innocent.

Kimberly Spampinato, who’s 42, appeared Wednesday in York County Superior Court, where she’s charged with murder and arson. Justice Paul Fritzsche ordered her to continue to be held without bond.

According to court documents, Spampinato allegedly poured gas on her husband and set him afire using a lighter and newspaper. Christopher Spampinato was burned over 85 percent of his body shortly after midnight on Jan. 8. He died nine days later in a Boston hospital.
