Alleged Arsonist Ends Up In Hospital

A man, who allegedly burned his neighbour’s house at Batinikama in Labasa last Thursday, is still admitted at the Labasa Hospital.

This was confirmed by the Divi­sional Police Commander (DPC) Northern Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Eparama Waqa yesterday.

“The man who set fire is the house owner’s brother-in-law,” SSP Waqa said.

“He tried to commit suicide after the alleged fire incident and Police had to take him to Labasa Hospi­tal. We are waiting for the doctor to provide us with the clearance so that we can take him to the station for questioning,” he said.

Police investigations continue.
