Some days ago, the home of the first boy was also set ablaze.

Both homes have now been destroyed.

No one was injured in either incident, as it’s reported that the occupants had moved out of the homes some time ago, and only go to the premises occasionally.

Irate persons had threatened to burn the homes of the 2 accused boys and police had gone to the community to discourage acts of reprisal and also keep a presence in the area.

In last night’s incident, residents reported seeing fire coming from the 2 bedroom board house and summoned the fire brigade and police.

But by the time the fire fighters got there, the building was already engulfed in flames.

Police remain tightlipped on the matter only stating that the arson incidents are being investigated.
