A prison warder and her brother are now contemplating their next move after a fire of unknown origin completely destroyed their Sophia home just after 2pm yesterday.
Matthew Gravesande, a construction worker, told Stabroek News that he resided in the Lot E71 North Sophia single-flat wooden house with his sister, Yolanda Persaud, a prison warder attached to the Lusignan Prison.
Stabroek News understands that it is suspected that the fire started in one of the bedrooms of the house. At that time, neither Gravesande nor Persaud was home. They managed to save nothing.
