HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A West Michigan jury has found a man guilty of murder in the slaying of his 53-year-old landlady, who was set on fire after complaining about his loud music.

Davanh Phouangphet's was convicted Friday in Ottawa County Circuit Court of first-degree premeditated murder.

Sentencing is scheduled for May 28.

Phanh Kim Le died in January 2012 from burns sustained a few days earlier at the house in Holland Township, west of Grand Rapids.

Police said an accelerant was poured on Le and lit.
