Last night you heard the story of thirty year old Deshon Rowland who said that his girlfriend burnt down his home at 69 Vernon Street on Sunday Night after they had an argument.
And today 22 year old Keisha Banner, who is about three months pregnant,was arraigned on a charge of arson in connection with the incident when she appeared today in the #1 Magistrate's Court.
No plea was taken from her because the offence is indictable.
Chief Magistrate Margaret McKenzie offered her bail of five thousand dollars and adjourned her case until April 7. Rowland didn't want any further court action but the decision as to whether the charge should be withdrawn is in the hands of the DPP, Cheryl Lyn Vidal. v Rowland estimated that the value of his 14 by 24 house and its contents was seventeen thousand dollars.
