Wickham yesterday told Stabroek News that the investigation has been completed and it has been determined that the fire was electrical in origin.
On December 14, at about 5 am, a fire erupted and destroyed the one-storey house of Felis Smith, a 75-year-old of Lot 3834 Plantation #2 Westminster, West Bank Demerara.
