So, as you heard in our story, the fire victim is claiming arson, and she asserts that she knows who did it and why.
At today's police press briefing, the police investigator said that as of right now, they are waiting for a full report from the experts at the National Fire Service:
Supt. Alejandro Cowo, Officer Commanding, CIB
"Last night just after 8:00pm Ladyville Police visited #16 Lord's bank where they observed a three feet elevated board house engulfed in flames what Police have gathered so far is that the house was being taken care of by an elderly person when apparently the house was seen on fire. Fire department personnel arrived on the scene however the house was totally destroyed. The house and its contents according to the proprietor Ms. Kimberly Bettancourt was valued at over $37,000.00. No one was injured during the fire. We are waiting for fire department personnel to do an investigation of the building to see what can be the cause of the fire."
We asked the National Fire Service for comment on this case, but they haven't responded.
