A Freeport man has been accused of killing a woman who was found dead in a house he set on fire Monday morning.
Authorities charged Loventino Cassadean with second-degree murder after police and firefighters found the victim’s body while extinguishing the blaze at the suspect’s Craig Avenue home.
The 49-year-old man was arrested after a brief interview with a Freeport village police officer he flagged down while the officer was responding to the fire.
Police did not immediately release the woman’s identity. Her cause of death has yet to be determined.
Cassadean will be arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
