A Sunday afternoon fire ravaged two Agricola, East Bank Demerara houses, and also claimed the life of 45-year-old Kevin Trotman and left 13 persons homeless, a statement from the Guyana Fire Service [GFS] said.
A relative of the deceased said that Trotman, a father of one, was last seen on Saturday evening but the family was informed that he had been consuming alcohol on Sunday and sometime after retired to bed. The relative noted too that Trotman was not seen during or after the fire. Yesterday, family members noticed swarms of flies around what appeared to be the burnt remains of a body. The relative related, “yesterday (Sunday) we see the fire and he wasn’t around we didn’t see him, we didn’t hear from him during yesterday (Sunday) and this morning (Monday) so we come and they saw the flies and they assume it’s the body. When they went in deh they saw the burnt body.” Trotman was described as a quiet person.
