Fire horror
One of The heroes who snatched a woman from a horrific death told of her screams yesterday, as police continued looking for the perpetrator responsible for entering her house, attacking her, and setting her body on fire on Sunday.
The woman was staying at her brother’s house alone in Bartlett’s Tenantry, Sargeant’s Village, Christ Church.
