Nearly five months after six lives were lost in a fire at a New Providence inner city community, police have very little to say about the results of their investigations.
Five adults and one toddler, all relatives, burned to death in a small four-room structure at Homestead Street in the early hours of Monday, September 23, 2013.
With very little details publicly released by authorities, The Tribune has sought answers for months from police spokesman Superintendent Stephen Dean and Fire Services Chief Walter Evans.
However, both senior officers directed The Tribune to put all questions about the investigation to Royal Bahamas Police Force executives.
Yesterday, Assistant Commissioner of Police Anthony Ferguson said the case remains classified as a house fire.
He said: “Eventually, we will send the files of the six persons who perished to the coroner. And unless something else turns up otherwise, house fire remains as the classification.”
