Manuel Gonzalez Perez was seized by a mob in Gaultier, a batey near Boca Chica, as he fled from accusations that he had started a fire in the Villa Nazaret neighborhood in Bayona, Santo Domingo. The fire left 29 families homeless and killed two children age 7 and 9. Police officials intercepted a mob of nearly 20 people as it was beating Gonzalez Perez, and he was taken to the local police station where he admitted starting the fire in revenge at the landlord who had removed the door to his rented room for non-payment of the rent. Gonzalez Perez also told the assistant District Attorney that he admitted starting the fire. The arsonist was sent to Santo Domingo for trial.
