Two Chinese nationals perished in a fire which early yesterday morning ravaged the Public Road, Vreed-en-Hoop home and supermarket they rented, along with three other buildings, all of which housed various businesses.
The names of the two persons are still unknown. At least 22 persons are now jobless and the business owners’ losses run into millions.
Jagash Mangal, who lives opposite the home of the two victims and in whose yard the duo would park their vehicle at nights, said that it was he who alerted others of the fire and who called for aid from the Guyana Fire Service (GFS), the police and the Guyana Power and Light (GPL).
