The 2015 fire at the Guyana Forensic Science Laboratory (GFSL) destroyed an office, Director Delon France says.
“An entire room was burnt. It was an office. The fire was electrical. …That room burnt up because there was a chair close by to the point [and] when we checked the entire facility, a specific type of brand, all those points were burnt up,” he told Stabroek News last week.
The then Ministry of Home Affairs had described the incident as a minor electrical fire and said that attorney Nigel Hughes, who had highlighted the situation in a Facebook post, had exaggerated the issue.
