Man dies in an arson-related house fire after allegedly talking out a large insurance policy on both his house and himself
(AP) Newark- After taking out insurance policies totaling more than 3 million dollars on his home and his life, Marvin Leeloyd of Wackerli, North Virginia set his house ablaze as he watched television inside. Leeloyd had told friends that he was soon to be very rich and that they would all be able to visit Disneyland, a childhood dream of Leeloyd's.
Posthumous tests to determine Leeloyd's mental state are currently in progress, but little has been learned from the badly charred body. Leeloyd's mother, Linda Leeloyd told agents that Leeloyd had been having money trouble for the last few months after he discovered the newly built Disney Store in the North Virginia Mall. An investigation of Leeloyd's room in his mother's apartment showed his obsession with Disney icons such as Ariel and Flounder, Aladdin, and even relics from Disney's creations, Hannah Montana and High School Musical.
A look into Leeloyd's room also gave hints about his past life such as his great taste in the purples and blues he choose for the curtains. The carpet however clashed terribly with the bedspread, creating both a terrible Fung Shui and bad Juju which investigator's say won't help in Leeloyd's defense trial.
