posted (August 26, 2014)
And so what does the Fire Department have to say about this nephew and the direct allegation that he burned the house down? Well, today at a press briefing, the Fire Department did confirm that the house was set on fire -be setting clothing on fire in one of the bedrooms:..

Benisford Matura - Operations Officer, National Fire Service
"We've started our investigation and the information revealed from the investigators show that the fire started in north eastern section of the structure which is one of the bedrooms because it had two bedrooms. Further investigation revealed that it started somewhere on top of the mattress and probably with the use of clothing the fire started because clothing was spread all over the room. We've canvassed the area in the bedroom and found that the clothes was spread all over the floor and in an unusual pattern that wouldn't be normal."

Sonya Harris's nephew has been detained by Precinct two police. We'll tell you tomorrow if he's being charged.
