A family of five is now homeless after an early morning fire destroyed their two-storey home at Number 67 Village, Corentyne, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) on Thursday.
The blaze, which was reported at about 02:00h, destroyed the four-bedroom building occupied by 41-year-old Gitanjali Sukrah, her 37-year-old husband Sunil, and their three children, ages 12, 11, and nine.
Sukrah said her husband had returned home around midnight and later rested on the veranda because of the hot weather. She said that her husband had been smoking and put out the cigarette.
