Two charged with arson

Jan 30, 2011 News

Police have instituted a joint charge of setting fire to dwelling house against Annand Alphonso and Ravi Singh. The two are allegedly responsible for setting the apartment of 23-year-old Sunita Damesh of Sparta on fire, on January 24, last.
They were not allowed to plead to the indictable charge and were subsequently remanded.
According to the police, on January 24, at Sparta Village, armed with gasoline and channa, the two ignited the Molotov cocktail and caused the mother of one to be severely injured. Sunita sustained extensive burns. At present her condition has worsened according to police and she has since been transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
On the day in question around midnight, Sunita, her one-year-old daughter and her reputed husband, Damesh Mohanroop, were all asleep at their Sparta home, when they were attacked with a Molotov cocktail fashioned from Coca Cola bottles.
According to reports, Sunita who was asleep, partially naked, was first doused by her attackers with gasoline.
Damesh’s aunt, Dularie, said that she understood that Sunita’s attackers were successful in dousing her alone with the gasoline, because of the window that was left partially open and with her being the closest to her attackers.
This paper has also been informed that Alphonso and Sunita shared a common-law relationship, prior to her present involvement with Mohanroop. Mohanroop recently returned to Guyana from Barbados.
