What started as a feeding for her one-year-old son turned into the destruction of the home of Lydia Haynes-Watts at Yearwood’s Road, Sugar Hill, St Joseph, around four o’clock yesterday morning.
Haynes-Watts, 38, an employee of the Ministry of Transport and Works, said she got up to put water on the stove to make tea for her son when “de stove blow up and I had to run”.
She took the boy, Ronieco Watts, to her mother’s home, while she had to shout for the rest of her children who had to “jump through de window”.
Haynes-Watts, who will be staying at her sister’s home, lived with her husband, Rondell Watts, a general worker at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, her sister’s daughter Carol Hackett, 20, and her three other children. (DG)
