A retired NYPD detective was found guilty of attempted murder, aggravated battery and arson on Thursday after attacking his wife with a hammer, dousing her in gasoline and setting her on fire.

Christopher Hanney, 46, of Tampa Bay Florida, attacked his estranged wife, Audrey Mabrey, 29, because she told him that she was divorcing him, reports The MailOnline.

The couple were sharing custody of their two children and living separately when Mabrey stopped by their marital home in November 2009 and Hanney attacked her.

Harry Burkhart, the 24-year-old German man suspected of causing $3 million in damage after setting more than 50 fires throughout Los Angeles, will face a judge Wednesday, as we learn new details about his relationship with his mother Dorothee, and her own checkered personal history involving fraud -- and breast augmentation surgery!

Officials believe Harry torched dozens of parked cars in carports after Dorothee’s court appearance last week for an extradition hearing tied to 19 counts of fraud she was charged with in her native Germany in 2007, including an unpaid breast-augmentation surgery in 2004.

Dorothee -- who runs an erotic massage parlor in Hollywood -- was taken into custody December 28 on a provisional arrest warrant, and Harry was present at the hearing to determine whether or not she'd be extradited to Frankfurt to face the fraud charges. At one point, Harry said "F--- the United States!," according to Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office. Mrozek said the son was detained and ejected from the courthouse following the profane outburst.

Another 10 arson fires were set in Los Angeles Saturday morning, bringing to 32 the number of blazes now under investigation by fire officials. The latest group were all in North Hollywood.

Friday night, there was one more fire set in West Hollywood, in the same area where the first batch of 21 went up Thursday night and Friday morning.

Most of the infernos started with cars being set afire. They quickly spread to nearby houses and apartment buildings.

One man has been arrested, although he's not yet been charged. "It's too early to say whether we have a copycat," Captain Jaime Moore, of the Los Angeles Fire Department said.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the house where legendary rocker Jim Morrison once lived is among those destroyed. It's believed to have inspired his song, Love Street.

"We believe it's a good possibility that the individual responsible for the fires this morning is responsible for the fire that occurred tonight," Moore said Friday night.
