children, turned himself in at the Number 51 Village Police Station on Monday. Deodat Heera, 32, a joiner of Number 59 Village, Corentyne, subsequently appeared before Magistrate R. Weaver yesterday at the Number 51 Magistrate’s Court to answer a charge of arson.
He was refused bail and remanded to prison. He is to return to court at a later date.
It was alleged that last Tuesday, Heera, set fire to the one-flat concrete home of Sumintra Samwaroo, 32, after he returned home from work in an intoxicated state. He immediately fled the scene.
Meanwhile, the woman and her two children are currently lodging at her mother’s house situated in the front portion of the Lot 101 burnt- out lot. “Neighbours give us clothes. We ain’t left with nothing,” she told this newspaper.
The woman lost everything—valuables, three television sets, three beds, wardrobes, a circle-set, gas stove, washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, stereo set, clothing and $10,000 in cash. “We came out with our nightgowns—and that was it. People helped us with clothes.”
Samwaroo is making an appeal to persons for assistance. “We are glad if the public can see and help us get back a little shelter—I have my two children.”
Persons interested in assisting the mother of two in any way can contact 338-1137 or 628-3425.
