The charred remains of a Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara man were pulled from the debris of his home early yesterday morning after a fire that the authorities are treating as arson.
Dead is Sean Griffith, 40, of 67 Side Line Dam, Golden Grove, who was a father of one and employee of Prince Shipping Company.
The police force yesterday said that the fire is being treated as a suspected arson.
Residents believe that Griffith was murdered before the house was set on fire. They said the fire was seen at approximately 1.10 am and they sounded an alarm but only a cousin, who was residing in the bottom flat of the two storey concrete building, responded.
