Police `actively probing’ deadly Amelia’s Ward fire

The police say that they are actively probing the Christmas Day arson in Amelia’s Ward, Linden that claimed the lives of  a woman and her two nieces. 

Meanwhile, Onika Lawrence, the mother of 16-year-old Angelique Lawrence and 8-year-old Ronika Lawrence, and sister of 30-year-old Zella Lawrence, told the Sunday Stabroek yesterday that she can’t really say how the house was maliciously set on fire because she wasn’t around when it occurred. She added that the police are still questioning people in the area to ascertain what happened.

Regional Commander of Division 10, Superintendent Guy Nurse told the Sunday Stabroek  that currently there is an active investigation ongoing to ascertain who could have set the home on fire.
