Gasoline likely started fatal fire, says forensic analyst

JamaicaObserver.com: "RETIRED Chief Forensic Analyst Fitzmore Coates yesterday suggested that gasoline was used to start the May 22 fire at the Armadale Juvenile Centre in St Ann, which claimed the lives of seven wards and injured nine others.

Coates told the enquiry, which is being held at the National Volunteer Centre on Camp Road in St Andrew, that he found traces of a 'highly flammable' hydrocarbon, which was likely to have been gasoline, on burnt-out clothing and the remains of a Bible that were taken from an area close to where he said the fire started."
