Arsonist still in custody after failing to post $200,000 bail

Denise Munroe, the woman who set her home ablaze last Thursday, will spend an indefinite time in custody, after relatives failed to post her bail of $200,000. The woman was placed on bail at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court after she appeared on an arson charge. While many believed that the woman suffered a mental breakdown, relatives are saying that she has no such history, and that her actions are as a result of a divorce with her husband of three years. Reports are that internal family disputes may have resulted in the split up which deeply affected Munroe. Relatives claim that she gave her mother and other relatives who were residing in the lower flat of the building notice to move, because her husband refused to stay with her family in the same house. The Magistrate opted to send the woman for Psychiatric evaluation at the Observation Ward.
