The fire as it guts the Enmore property.
A 25-year-old labourer is in police custody after allegedly setting fire to his father’s property, located at Lot 351 Hope, South Enmore, East Coast Demerara.
The man, had previously attempted to set fire to the same building, but was not prosecuted after his father, 48-year-old Bagwan Singh, refused to give a statement.
