"On Monday morning, shortly after midnight, Independence police responded to a house fire in San Roman Village in the Stann Creek District where upon arrival one Juan Cucul, the owner of the three thatch houses, reported that shortly after 11 p.m., he was awaken by smoke coming from one of the three thatch houses in his yard. However, he got up but was unable to control the fire so the entire three thatch houses that he had in his yard were completely destroyed by fire. In relation to this, police is seeking one person for questioning. According to Mr. Cucul, the thatch house did not have any electricity. Hence the reason why we are seeking one person in connection with this investigation and this person is a relative of his."
