Teen's Deadly Dorm Fire Started Over Seized Phone

A 14-year-old student at Mahdia Secondary School in Guyana set the dormitory on fire after her cellphone was confiscated when she was reprimanded for having an affair with an older man. The fire killed 19 children, including a five-year-old boy, and injured six others. The student suspected of starting the fire was among the injured. The dormitory had five doors and plenty of windows, but they were grilled with iron bars, preventing the girls from escaping. The Guyanese government has accepted offers from the United States to send experts and forensic teams to aid with the investigation.

Teen's confiscated phone leads to deadly dorm fire in Guyana.

Prosecutors in Guyana are considering what charges to bring against a teenage suspect who is believed to have started a fire that destroyed a girl's dormitory at a school, killing 18 students and a young boy. The suspect, who was injured in the blaze, is thought to have ignited the fire in anger over having her mobile phone confiscated by an administrator at the government boarding school serving Indigenous villages in southwestern Guyana. The suspect, who was expected to be released from hospital this week, was 14, but fire department officials who interviewed her over the past two days maintained she was 15, which would mean she could potentially be indicted as an adult on arson and murder charges.
