Last week, 7News showed you 19 year-old Alexander Pitts, the young man suspected of burning down his family's home on Holy Emmanuel Street. Well, tonight, he is on remand after he was arraigned in Magistrate's Court today.
As we reported, the house at lot 45 was set ablaze and the entire house was destroyed. Police and Fire Department officials arrived shortly after, and they detained Pitts.
He was eventually arrested and charged with arson, and he was arraigned today in Magistrate's Court. Due to the nature of the offences, he was remanded to prison until May 15, 2013, his next court date.
As we showed you in our story on last week Thursday, the family believes that he was having some sort of mental episode. He reportedly stood on the street and watch the house burn down after he lit it on fire.
Neither the home nor the contents were insured.
