Suspicious Fire Death In Manitoba
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING NEAR WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, a house suddenly exploded violently and burned down. The 3 am blast brought the neighbors to their windows and some of them saw a figure running away engulfed in flames.
A trail of bloody, barefoot prints were found leading away from the house and down to a nearby parkland. Police say that a severely burned youth, age 19, was found about an hour later and taken to the hospital where he later died from his injuries.
The house has been the center of attention before due to a neighborhood conflict involving several homes, some of which are allegedly connected with drug activity.
The victim was identified as the nephew of the owners of the house who were not at home when it blew. The nephew was reportedly visiting from Nova Scotia. A man whose yard contains some of the bloody footprints says that he saw a man dressed in black running away from the scene.
It’s hard to tell the players without a scorecard, but the Winnipeg Free Press tries in this report HERE.
