Police are investigating a fire of unknown origin that is believed to have claimed the life of 38-year-old fisherman, Terry Lall, and partially destroyed his Paradise, Essequibo home on Sunday night.
Police enquiries disclosed that Lall lived alone in a one-flat concrete house west of the Paradise Public Road, Essequibo Coast. According to Lall’s sister, Somattie Persaud, a 41-year-old security guard who lives in the same yard, at around 1300hrs on Sunday, Lall left his home and went to Lake Mainstay. Somattie said that about 1900hrs she saw her brother return and enter his house. She said that he seemed under the influence of alcohol at the time.
