Attempted Arson At Cassada Gardens

Attempted ArsonAntigua St John's - Police and officers attached to the Antigua & Barbuda Fire Services are investigating a report of an attempted arson at a Cassada Gardens home in the wee hours of Wednesday.

Fire tenders from St. John’s Fire Station arrived on the scene and extinguished a blaze that was apparently set to a washroom attached to the house. A portion of the main building was charred by the blaze.
 
Reports indicate that the occupants, a 21-year-old woman and her two-year-old daughter, were awakened by loud knocking on the door around 3:35 am.

The mother said that upon investigating the noise she saw a female approximately 5’ 5” tall and dressed in dark clothing running away from her home.
 



She told police that the individual sped away in a black motorcar that bore no licence plates.
 
No one was injured during the incident. However, the police are appealing to anyone with information relating to this offence to contact the Criminal Investigation Department at 462-3913\14, or call Crime Stoppers at 800-TIPS (8477).


Meanwhile on Wednesday, police arrested and charged a 31-year-old man of Golden Grove New Extension for possession of 20 grams of cannabis and for cultivating seven cannabis plants, a controlled drug.
 
Also arrested and charged for possessing and cultivating 18 cannabis plants was a 26-year-old woman, also of Golden Grove.
 
Both accused were due to appear before the court on Thursday.

Someone once said that what goes on at the head, trickles down to the bottom. We certainly have a lot of ARSonists in Parliament, so no surprise here.

I wonder if she really wanted the woman and her children to die in that house ???? Think about what you are doing no man is worth your soul going to hell for murder dear. Get the plastic variety of his most useful part with or without batteries and sooth yourself. Make your own money dont depend on him forthat either.

Somebody call Matlock or Perry Mason. Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. One woman is not enough for you?

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart


I'm glad the woman and hear daughters are safe. Thank God.

DEVIL'S ADVOCATE

#3 THE GODFATHER » 2012-06-08 13:14

is this truly the story, it maybe, as well as could be a likely cover for negligence. Let me be the devil's advocate today: Is it possible that it was not the knocking, but the smoke that aroused her from her slumber, was a candle left burning, does the house have electricity.

Next, using a woman running from the scene at 3:35am in dark clothing an a black motor car espouse a woman jealously motive. I suggest the police go to that property at 3:35am and replay the story, or give her a lie detector test. My apologies if I was to harsh, just playing the devil's advocate today.
