In the wake of losing her $7 million dollar home, Victorine Ifill is still being tormented by the man who took her home away from her.
Speaking with Kaieteur News yesterday, son of the distraught woman Ron Lamaison told of the phone calls that his mother has continued to receive since the fire.
According to Lamaison, his step-father called Ifill and asked her if she would like him to re-build the house; she hung up the phone.
Further reports reaching this newspaper say that the man has called other family members and friends to tell them what he had done.
He also explained to one of them who listened that he had acted out of frustration.
Kaieteur News further understands that the man has since been put out of the house he resided in by the individual with whom he was living.
Up to press time there was no indication as to whether or not the man has been captured by police. He has been in hiding since setting the house alight.
Lamaison suspects that his stepfather had drenched the house in kerosene and then “bore a hole in the (gas) bottle” to allow the vapour to circulate around the house, thereafter setting the house on fire.
Lamaison related that efforts made to get in contact with the police to tell them of his theory have since proven futile.
The fleeing man was reportedly last seen in Vryheid’s Lust on the East Coast of Demerara.
Among those who received calls from him were his daughter Melissa who reportedly heard “breeze in the background…..as though he was in a bus (travelling).”
In the meantime the family has been forced to split up; all staying with different friends and family members, and are trying desperately to get themselves back on their feet.
As the family has lost everything in the fire, they are now forced to start from scratch to rebuild their lives.
At about noon on Friday the ‘frustrated’ man torched Victorine Ifill’s home at 296 Section ‘C’ Turkeyen. The two had recently ended their relationship.
