No leads yet in Chadee fire

“NO LEADS and no suspects.” That is the official word from police investigating the suspected arson attack which destroyed the Piparo mansion of executed drug lord Dole Chadee on Tuesday night. Fire officials said they have not yet determined the cause of blaze, but added that by Monday, the investigation was expected to be completed. Police believe the luxurious Chadee residence, located at Pascal Road, Piparo, was torched after gasolene was doused on the main part of the house. Around 9 pm on Tuesday, neighbours noticed the mansion on fire and contacted the authorities. The fire raced through the concrete and wooden structure for almost one and a half hours before fire services arrived and extinguished the flames. Even by midnight, after the fire services water supply had been exhausted, embers remained alight. The six-bedroom house was where executed drug baron Chadee and his family once lived. Princes Town police are continuing investigations.
