Two dilapidated cottages in Kitty were yesterday afternoon destroyed by fire in what neighbours believe was the result of one of the occupants forgetting about a lit kerosene stove.
The Lot 39 Public Road, Kitty, cottages were occupied by two men only identified as ‘Strong Boy’ and Sherwin.
It was in ‘Strong Boy’s’ home that the fire originated, shortly after 3pm, and because of the dilapidated state of the buildings, it quickly spread to the other cottage behind it, ravaging both in the process.
