Arson is suspected in a fire that destoyed a house in Pleasantville on Friday night.
The house, located at Pleasantville Circular Road, is owned by Richard Jones who works in England but travels back and forth. He was last in T&T about a year ago.
Jones had recently evicted a man who had been living in the house with his wife and children. Jones’ relative said he received a call about the fire sometime before 9 pm. He said they suspect arson, especially since the owner had disconnected the electricity supply to the house.
Officers from the Fire Prevention Unit at the Mon Repos Fire Station and Mon Repos Police Station are investigating.
