Two Oklahoma men were charged with murder this week after setting a home ablaze killing a woman as she tried to save her pet dogs.
Police said that Allen Shaw and his 68-year-old friend Randy Sander started a fire in an Idabel home on March 2 in an attempt to force tenants to evacuate.
Shaw alleged that the couple rented his house for two years and did not make any payments during that time.
Authorities said that when Shaw and Sander set the fire, the couple was not home but the woman went inside the burning structure to save her pet dogs.
The victim, identified as 43-year-old Danette Stowe, and her two dogs perished in the blaze and were found dead after it was extinguished.
Shaw and Sander were arrested at a different Idabel home and charged with second-degree murder and second-degree arson in connection with the incident.
