A deranged immigrant set a Queens fire that killed four strangers — including a 3-year-old girl — because he wanted “someone” to pay after he got booted from his job, prosecutors said Thursday. Roman Amatitla, 38, chose the Flushing building at random after losing his food processing job on March 16, then bought beer, bummed matches from a local gas station and lit a fire in the first-floor hallway — then stood outside sipping the beer while he watched innocent victims die one-by-one, prosecutors said. “He indicated that he watched as people jumped from various windows, some of them living, one of them dying,” Queens Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Reale said in court as Amatitla was arraigned on murder, arson and assault charges in the horrific blaze.
