A Haltom City mother has told police she doused her daughters with gasoline and set them on fire because she was angry at her husband.

The information about Alysha Green's motive comes from a search warrant affidavit released yesterday.

Green apparently herded the three girls into a closet, telling them it was a game.

She then opened the door and threw a burning shirt on them.

The youngest daughter died Tuesday. Arienna Green, known as "Scooby," was taken off life support.

Her two sisters remain hospitalized.

The oldest child, Addy, is being treated for burns on her back, legs and arms. Alexandria, 5, reportedly had more burns, though her aunt said her face escaped injury.

Green who has burns on her feet and remains in a hospital, was arrested for capital murder and injury to a child.
