Fire destroys Pomeroon house, homeowner suspected of arson
Both the police and senior fire officers who were part of the investigation of the fire at Grant Buxton, Lower Pomeroon, yesterday, have concluded that the fire that destroyed a wooden building was likely to be as a result of arson perpetrated by the male occupant of the home. 
By visiting the scene and from the information they would have received, both the police and fire service officers have assessed that Dexter Naitram, the male occupant may have deliberately set his house on fire Sunday night last.
Naitram is however contending that he has no knowledge of the fire which has completely destroyed his two-bedroom wooden house.
According to the young man, he and his female partner were the only two occupants of the house and they were asleep when he discovered fire emanating from his front room.
Naitram added that he awoke sometime around 9;30PM, Sunday night last and asked his partner to go and get some drinking water for him. It was then that she apparently discovered the fire emanating from the front room and similarly alerted him and they evacuated the building unhurt.
Both the police and fire service officials are insisting that Naitram set fire to his house and fled.
One police officer who was conducting his investigation concluded that the house was unattended when the fire broke out.
Persons who informed the police of the fire also said that Naitram was not at home at the time the fire started.
Information also revealed that Naitram and his female occupant were in the habit of using a lamp at nights.
