Man allegedly firebombed his own house

By ABC7
WEST COVINA, Calif. Robert Ho, 51, was arrested Friday after DNA evidence linked him to the fire at his million-dollar home on Hampton Drive on February 21. The fire destroyed his home.

His 90-year-old father and 20-year-old daughter also lived in the home. His wife had reportedly moved back to Thailand.

Authorities are investigating whether he's responsible for a fire at a neighbor's house a few weeks earlier.

Ho is scheduled to appear at Citrus Municipal Court in West Covina on Tuesday.
