Fourteen months after a fire at Robb and King Streets claimed the lives of three persons including two children, the police last week detained two suspects including the alleged mastermind of the arson but later released the duo and will seek legal advice.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum told Stabroek News that investigators are in the process of sending the case file to the Director of
Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
Sixty-three-year-old businessman Hilrod Thomas was forced to jump from a burning building located on Robb and King Streets, Georgetown on November 17, 2014, after fire was set to it.
He was unable to save his trapped children Theresa Rozario, 12, and Clarissa Rozario, 14 who died. Thomas sustained burns and injuries to his limbs and was a patient of the Burn Care Unit at the Georgetown Public Hospital for over a
month before he succumbed on December 20, 2014.
The businessman had lived with his two daughters in the top flat of the three-storey building, while other sections were occupied by small businesses.
