Suspect in La Parfaite arson still on the run
As Surswatie Mootoo, whose husband allegedly set fire to their home almost two weeks ago, is trying to rebuild her life, police are yet to locate the man who is wanted for arson.
According to a source close to the investigation, as of yesterday the man, who has been identified as Naresh Seepersaud called ‘Fineman’, was still on the run. This publication was told that the suspect has not contacted his family since the incident.
As a result of the fire, Surswattie Mootoo called ‘Radha’, 31, and her five children of 3921 Westminster Phase Two, West Bank Demerara, are homeless. The children’s ages range from five to 12 years.
It was only a week prior to the fire that Mootoo’s husband was placed on a bond to keep the peace for a year after he appeared at the Wales Magistrate’s Court on domestic abuse-related charges.
The couple then decided to split possessions, with Seepersaud deciding to keep the upper flat of the building.
Initial reports are that the man was seen using a kerosene stove to douse the upper flat of the home and even threatened villagers who came to dissuade him from any further potentially dangerous actions.
