Man, 60, on murder charge after fire

A 60-year-old man will appear before Kendal Magistrates Court today charged with the murder of Stacey Mackie who died following a fire in Kendal.
Terrence Michael Armer, from Buttery Well Road, Kendal was charged with her murder last night, along with a further offence of arson with intent to endanger the lives of others residing at Crag View, Kendal.
Today the family paid tribute to Stacey. A spokesperson said on behalf of the family: "We are devastated by our loss, words can’t describe how we feel. We are finding it difficult to come to terms with how someone could do this to a person like Stacey, she truly was one of a kind. She took everyone for what they were and never had a bad word to say about anybody. Night and God Bless pet. Xxxxxx"
Police and fire crews were called to Ms Mackie’s home in Crag View, Kendal on Friday. Following the incident, 35-yr-old Stacey was taken to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary and later transferred to Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester, where she died on Friday afternoon.
