Arsonists Keep Grand Jury Busy

Comments Off

THE PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, GRAND JURY handed down some indictments yesterday including two arson prosecutions.

Gary Gaudreau was charged with setting his own business on fire back in March.  The Physique Company, a fitness gymnasium, was burned out and police became suspicious because Gaudreau’s own physique came with a pair of burned legs.  WPRI-TV reports:

In another bill handed down they indicted Herbert Byrd on charges he killed the mother of his two children, then set her home on fire.  Police said Byrd killed Linda Encarnacoe back in May, then set fire to her Yarmouth Street home. Investigators said Encarnacoe had been stabbed, strangled, and beaten. They believe jealousy may have been a motive.
