A FIRE yesterday gutted the home of Tandy Liverpool at Lot 135 Waterloo Street, Georgetown.
The blaze, in the infamous ‘Globe Yard’, started in the kitchen and has left five persons homeless.
Owner of the building, Violet Dones, who is the mother of Liverpool, alleged that somebody set it ablaze.
“All my money, clothes and everything gone,” she cried.
Liverpool, 35, said she was on her way to Regent Street, also in the city, when she received a telephone call and rushed back to find the property engulfed in flames.
The distraught woman said: “Everything I ever worked for is all gone. No one was at home at that time, so nothing could have been saved.”
A relative, who was at a neighbour, said he saw smoke emanating from the kitchen and alerted the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) which responded promptly.
The family members were all in tears, after being unable to salvage anything in the house.
Liverpool told the Guyana Chronicle she would, usually, work in the interior with her husband and lost “a lot of money” in the destroyed home.
She valued the property at millions of dollars but said it was never insured.
