In a tragic incident in Virginia, a fire claimed the life of a woman and left a 14-year-old girl seriously injured. The woman’s adult son, Howard Baker, has been detained in Florida after an attempted armed robbery, and it was revealed that he was wanted by Virginia authorities in connection with the deadly fire.
A witness in the investigation disclosed disturbing details about the motive behind the fire. Lamont Baker, the son, allegedly set up a heater in a bedroom, expressing his intent to burn down the house. The motive reportedly stemmed from his mother’s refusal to provide money for drugs, resulting in the tragic loss of her life.
The family is now grappling with the aftermath of the incident. Beaulla Washburn, a relative, shared that the deceased woman struggled to raise her grandchildren with limited resources.
Despite their reluctance, the family has set up a GoFundMe page to seek assistance in laying their sister to rest. The 15-year-old grandson, speaking on behalf of the family, emphasizes the financial difficulties they face and expresses gratitude for any help provided.
