FOUR?WOMEN?say they are living in fear after a home-made device was allegedly thrown into one of their homes burning it flat to the ground.
Naudia Williams, the victim, believes she knows the culprit.
The 28-year-old of Buckingham Road, Bank Hall, St Michael, said that around midnight on Tuesday she was sleeping on a couch at her mother’s home when she heard a sound like glass breaking followed by a loud explosion.
When she jumped up and ran to the backdoor, she saw her small one-room home, which is in the backyard of her mother’s home, engulfed in flames.
“I am so lucky to be alive today because I usually sleep in there with my two children and my nephew,” Williams cried as she surveyed the charred remains.
Williams said she had started sleeping at her mother’s home because a man had been threatening her for the last two weeks.
She said when she checked her cell phone she realized that the man had sent her a text message around 11:46 p.m. threatening her life once again.
“I am very frightened,” she told the DAILY NATION. Her mother and sisters, who live at the main house, said they were all now afraid for their lives.
    Williams, who has an eight-year-old daughter and a four year-old son, said she had lost a bed, television, DVD?player and all of her children’s clothing in the blaze.
Police at the District “A” Station said they were investigating the matter.
