Man who burned black housemate alive cites "the Bible is for white people" only
A Tennessee man allegedly wrote a jailhouse letter to a white supremacist group admitting he burned a black man alive — and cited the Bible as one of his influences
Earlier this year in March, John Daniel Carothers, 53, reportedly killed one person after he set fire to a VA Living facility in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Investigators charged Carothers, who lived in the same building, with first-degree murder in addition to charges of reckless endangerment and aggravated arson. According to authorities, they were able to contain the fire in one room because Carothers wanted to kill Robert Miller, an African-American, inside the room.
Furthermore, Carothers “poured an accelerant on the victim and ignited it", according to District Attorney Jennings Jones. But recent developments have made the story worse.
