The accused pleaded guilty to the charge and the matter was adjourned to May 31 for sentencing. The judge ordered that Marlone undergo psychological evaluation before sentence is passed.
The incident occurred on February 27, 2019, when the fire department was called to a blaze at the Rachel’s Britannia Mini Mall in Caravel Beach. The fire caused significant damage to the building, which was valued at some $800,000.
