Woman suspected of setting her Meadowbrook home on fire

The remains of the house

A woman suffering from possible post-partum depression and domestic problems yesterday allegedly burnt her home down at 22 Meadowbrook Drive, Meadowbrook Gardens and was subsequently arrested.

While no one was in the house at the time residents had to break the windows of the house of the woman’s western neighbours and free a 20-year-old handicapped young woman who was at the time locked in the home. This house suffered damage caused by  water.  Electrical appliances were destroyed.

“We look up and see Nikki place on fire and she just walking up the road…is them boys had to grab what ever they could and start put out the fire with the trench water…then the police come and carry down Nikki”, a resident told Stabroek News.
