The victims of a vicious arson last week in Villa Nazaret, Bayona received some compensation for their rebuilding efforts. Manuel Gonzalez Perez is charged with intentionally starting a fire that engulfed 27 homes, leaving 30 families homeless, and killing two young children, age 7 and 9. Gonzalez was seized by a mob in Gaultier, a batey near Boca Chica, as he fled. 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 of his rented room for non-payment of the rent. Provincial governor Hilario Rodriguez oversaw the donation of RD$57 million to the affected families. The family of the children who died will receive RD$5,000 a month for the period of one year. The National Lottery also contributed, supplying the victims with mattresses, sheets, blankets and pillows.
