Man torches house, prevents neighbours’ intervention

Dec 14, 2010 News

A mentally ill man set his own house on fire last night in Brusche Dam, Buxton, and then chased neighbours with a cutlass when they tried to extinguish the blaze.
The wooden one-storey house was destroyed despite efforts by firefighters to save the property.
According to reports, the man, identified only as Shawn, had repeatedly threatened to set his house and those of his neighbours on fire.
Around 21:30 hrs last night, the homeowner made good on his threat to set his home alight.
When neighbours formed a bucket brigade to douse the flames, the man allegedly armed himself with a cutlass and chased them away.
By the time firefighters arrived, the house was already engulfed.
The arsonist was still at large at press time.
