House goes up in flames at Karawab after domestic dispute

Police in G Division (Essequibo Islands-Coast) are currently investigating the origin of a fire which engulfed a house in the Karawab Amerindian Community in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
According to reports, the residence, which is owned by 22-year-old Collen Richard, went up in flames after he and his wife had a heated argument.
Guyana Times understands that the argument started after Richard went home on March 31, 2016, and requested food. His wife, Neeta Curstin, then told him that she did not cook as she had insufficient groceries. Richard became angry and assaulted Curstin. He appeared in court on April 4, 2016 charged with assault and threatening behaviour. He was charged and granted bail for both offences.
According to Prosecutor, Haimraj Ramsewack, the living quarters of the couple went up in flames immediately after the argument. He told the Court Police were currently investigating the matter, but no one was hurt.
Meanwhile, Richard told  Guyana Times he had no idea how the fire started, but he lost everything that was in the house. He could not estimate his losses. The aunt of Richard, however, said the fire could have been caused by the kerosene stove, which was found on the floor the next day.
