Police have arrested a suspect in the recent Kane-ville Housing Scheme arson that claimed the life of an eight-month-old baby boy and destroyed the home of ten persons.
The suspect, of Lot 906 4th Field, Kaneville, was arrested at Nine Miles, Potaro, Commander of ‘F’ Division Ravindradat Budhram said. He explained that police officers, acting on information received, went to the location and arrested the man.
Stabroek News was told that the suspect was on his way into the backdam when he was apprehended. He was expected to be handed over to the police in ‘A’ Division last night, Budhram said.
The fire, which occurred last week Monday, resulted in the death of eight-month-old Romain Seth. Owner of the house, Michelle Menezes, had said that her family had been threatened over contacting police about a gun that was found in their yard. She had dismissed the threat but never made a report until one of her sons was stabbed by a member of a gang affiliated with the person who made the threat.
