A senior lawman from the Kingston Western Police Division has raised suspicion about the sequence of fires that have destroyed large sections of or all of ‘Ray Ray’ Market in downtown Kingston over recent years.
Speaking from the burnt-out facility, Deputy Superintendent O Foster said the major fires have occurred almost annually for a number of years, and said it is difficult to attribute them to coincidence.
Vendors on location shared the same perspective.
