Husband sets house on fire while wife makes report at station
A security guard is on the run after burning down a house he shared with his spouse at 548, Recht-Door-Zee, Parfaite Harmonie last evening.
Firemen at the scene after the fire was extinguished.
Police are on the hunt for the man, identified as Godfrey Douglas. Reports reveal that even as his spouse who was identified as “Sherry” was making a report at the La Grange Police Station about her husband’s threat to burn the couple’s home down after a heated quarrel, the man had already set the house ablaze and left. The building was a one storey wooden structure.
The woman is an itinerant vendor who operates at the Parika Market. When Kaieteur News visited the scene, Guyana Power and Light (GPL) workers were seen disconnecting electricity from the building.
Eyewitnesses say the Fire Service was prompt in responding but was still too late to save the house which was quickly consumed by fire. Neighbouring houses were saved as the occupants drenched their houses with water .
“When I peeped out the window all I see is the house on fire, and it happened after 20:00hrs, and then the fire service and GPL people come.” Another eyewitness related .
