The Other Side of Sandhill’s Supposed Arson
posted (May 10, 2016)
Last night we told you about a mother and her 3 kids who lost their home in a fire. 35 year old Sandhill resident Kafi Davis was in Corozal when she got the call about the fire early Sunday morning. She raced back to Sandhill only to find the charred remains of her house. Davis told us yesterday that she believes it was arson and that it was as a result of an ongoing domestic dispute. Well tonight, we have another side to that story: Davis's husband, Steve Davis who just got out of police custody, sent us an email giving us his side of the story. He said that he was in Belize City with friends at the time of the fire. He claims that the Fire Department has it as an electrical fire, not arson. And then he adds that that even if he was in the area he wouldn't destroy a house he helped to fix. He writes, quote, "I borrowed money to put a new roof on the house so why would I throw away money like that?" Davis continues by saying that he turned himself into police after hearing the stories about him. He did end off on a light note by saying "Any help for my wife to get back on her feet would be greatly appreciated." Again, if you would like to help you can call Kafi Davis at 633 - 5572.
