(CBS/AP) SALEM, Ore. - Shray Lynne Thompson, who police say started a house fire in Salem, Ore. that killed a 64-year-old man, has been arraigned on murder and related charges.

The Marion County district attorney's office said the charges involve multiple victims between Dec. 9, 2010, and Feb. 18, 2011, but it did not elaborate.

The Feb. 18 fire killed Robert Flores at the home the two shared.

The D.A. says the 34-year-old Thompson was arraigned Wednesday in Circuit Court on a grand jury indictment for murder, three counts of arson, two counts of witness tampering, assault and hindering prosecution.

Thompson was arrested last week in Tijuana, Mexico, and deported to San Diego.
