Man sets mother’s house on fire after being refused $2000
A resident of Port Kaituma, Region One (Barima-Waini), reportedly set his mother’s house on fire on Thursday after she refused to give him $2000. Known as “Chinee Man,” the suspect sustained burns on his body, and had to be taken to the hospital.
Police officers at the scene of the fire
Guyana Times understands that the suspect had requested $2000 from his mother, but she turned down his request, and that had led to an argument between them.
During that argument, he entered the house and set it on fire. Unfortunately, he became trapped inside the burning building, and onlookers had to rush to his aid. His mother escaped unharmed. Efforts to save the house from complete destruction proved futile.
The Police are expected to institute charges against the suspect, who remains hospitalised.
