Arsonists who torched house apprehended

HAVANA, Cuba - May 23 (Richard Roselló / www.cubanet.org) - May 13 police in Batabanó apprehended two men who had set fire to a house a week earlier.

Police said they filed charges against two men, whose names were given as Reinaldo and William, who said they had been paid 50 pesos to set fire to the house in which Raúl Gutiérrez, his wife and two minor children lived.

The house itself, made of boards and thatch, burned to cinders in a short time, despite the efforts of firemen and neighbors. The family said they had lost everything in the fire.

This is the second house that Gutiérrez loses to fire in less than a year. Gutiérrez works under the municipal forestry plan in the manufacture of coke.
