In what is suspected to be arson, occurred between 07:00Hrs and 09:30Hrs at Grant Akawini, Lower Pomeroon River, Region Two. According to reports, the dredge owner’s wife, Bevon English, was at her farm some one mile away when her house caught fire.

English was later informed and broke down in tears when she arrived at the scene.
