A Rio Claro family is calling on police to act swiftly and arrest the suspect behind what they believe was an arson attack that destroyed a house and two trucks on Monday morning.
The early-morning blaze, which occurred sometime before 7 am along Cunapo Southern Main Road in Cuche Village, gutted a four-bedroom house and two trucks. Relatives believe the incident stemmed from a family feud over property, particularly the house that was destroyed. Navin Rattan, who lives next door and owned one of the destroyed trucks, said he was asleep with his daughter when he was awakened by the sound of crackling flames. “I was sleeping with my daughter on the bed right where my daughter is. That window buss with that heat—that window could have fall on my daughter face,” he recalled.
