He said that he did not see anyone leaving his yard nor did he hear the breaking of the windows of his vehicles.“Is either one of two things. Somebody wants to see me dead or they don’t want me to have anything,” he said.The police were called but because of the damage to the vehicles they could not lift any fingerprints. But they did find, in the vehicles, two plastic bottles which they suspect contained a flammable liquid.Hoosain said that he cannot think of a suspect at the moment.“Right now I am puzzled. I never even got into a fight. Me and nobody ain’t got problems,Maliek Collins Jersey,” Hoosain said.He told this newspaper that he had purchased the minibus two years ago and had already paid for it in full,Leonard Floyd Bears Jersey, while his car was purchased following the destruction of the previous one which was burnt on Phagwah Day.“Right now I can’t work and no money to repair my vehicles but thank God that my house was saved,Tony Dorsett Jersey,” he said.He estimated his total losses at a whopping $4.4M and lamented the lack of justice he is getting from the police who are investigating the matter. |
