Gordon Andrew Roberts
Roberts, of no fixed place of abode, had allegedly set fire to Williams’s home at Phillips Road, St Stephen’s Hill, Black Rock, St Michael on November 16, last, and following a newspaper report, police declared him a wanted man.
The police had asked for the public’s assistance in locating him, but warned them not to approach him as he was armed and dangerous. Roberts was arrested Sunday.
Williams’s story had appeared in the Nation newspaper on November 18, last stating that police at the District ‘A’ Station had not treated her complaints with the respect they deserved after she was assaulted by her former partner who subsequently set her home to fire.
She claimed to have received death threats from Roberts who said he was going to kill her before he turned himself in.
