Probe commences into Magic Discounters fire

The Walvis Bay fire brigade leads an investigation into the possible cause of the fire which totally destroyed the Magic Discounters complex in the town’s central business district early on Monday morning.

Meanwhile, the management of Magic Discounters cautioned the public against rumours that the store manager, Mr. Martin Cordier was arrested for arson.
There is no truth in that. Mr. Cordier and his son were in actual arrested, but were on charges of failing to comply with the instructions of a police officer and trespassing into an area cordoned off by police. That was at the fire scene.
Mr. Cordier and his son is out on N$2000-00 bail each and will defend themselves against these allegations
