Biscayne Man Remanded for Burning Down Common-law’s House

Thirty-six-year-old George Bull is accused of torching his common-law wife’s house, injuring her in the process.  The Biscayne resident, who owns a sawmill, is behind bars tonight after he was denied bail earlier today when he appeared unrepresented before a senior magistrate.  It is alleged that on September fifteenth, Bull assaulted Kayla Robinson and caused her harm.  Several days later, on September twenty-second, Bull reportedly set fire to a plycem structure occupied by Robinson.  The house and all the household items insider were destroyed by fire, bringing the total damage to a little under fifty thousand dollars.  No plea was taken from Bull for the charge of arson, but he pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault and harm upon Robinson.  Bull was informed of his right to apply to the High Court for bail.  Until then, he is on remand at the Belize Central Prison until November eighteenth, 2024.
