An attempt was made early yesterday morning to torch a building that was owned by slain Pest Control Plus boss Mohammed Baksh, who was gunned down in an execution-style shooting a week ago.

Fire Chief Marlon Gentle confirmed that person/s set fire to the Prashad Nagar building in seven places. He said the fire occurred sometime around 2am and the Fire Service received the first report nine minutes later and dispatched two fire tenders and a tanker to the location,
