Michael Henry was just about finished packing up his stall for the evening when the brother of the young woman, Jody-Ann Moncrieff, came running for help.
“Mi see the smoke coming from behind the restaurant so mi think a di chef inside a clean up. Then mi see a youth come and say is a house a burn down and him sister inside a sleep,” Henry told the Jamaica Observer.
Residents on the scene said they noticed smoke coming from the six-bedroom dwelling at approximately 5:30 pm.
Without hesitating, Henry ran into the house where he discovered Moncrieff, naked and crying out for help. more
