A Manhattan man was indicted on murder charges Tuesday for allegedly setting a deadly fire in SoHo.

Wei Chu Hu was also charged with arson and assault.

Investigators allege that the 45-year-old intentionally set fire to his apartment building on Spring Street on January 10.

They say he also assaulted a police officer, who tried to arrest him.

Witnesses say Wu set the fire after getting into a fight with his wife.

She and their child made it out alive, but a neighbor, 66-year-old Renee Williams, was killed.
