Po­lice and fire of­fi­cers are in­ves­ti­gat­ing a house fire in New Grant in which a 40-year-old man died last evening.

The charred re­mains found in the rub­ble are be­lieved to be those of Amar­nath Ram­nar­i­nesingh, a me­chan­ic of Fred­er­ick Set­tle­ment, Hin­dus­tan.

Po­lice said Ram­nar­i­nesingh, who lived with his 48-year-old com­mon-law wife, was a psy­chi­atric pa­tient of Ward One at the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal for eight years.
