Chesney man detained by Police while house goes up in flames

The remains of the house where Safraz Mursalin lived since 2001.

“We still want to know the reason why the Police arrest him last night. They still can’t tell us why. All you hearing is the Commander said to lock he up. …they saying they heard that there is a dispute over the house but that’s not true. This is his mother-in-law place. So we see need answers,” the relative Sid.

The News Room understands that the fire started in the back room in the upper flat of the three-bedroom house. However, Mursalin said that there are no electrical outlets or plugs in that room and that he left no electrical appliance on before he left the house.

It was only last year that a driver crashed his vehicle into the fence of property, killing himself in the process and damaging the fence and Mursalin’s parked car.

“Me na done with that yet, car still in the workshop yet…I took out the seat to go and spray the car and the seat and everything burn up…money, documents all burnt,” he said.

Mursalin said he is open to assistance of any kind that will assist him to get back on his feet. Persons willing to assist can make contact with Samantha on 629-0143.
