ST JAMES, Jamaica — The Area One police has named Emron Pillinar as a person of interest in relation to an incident in which a woman was reportedly doused with a flammable substance and set ablaze at Great River, Hanover, yesterday.

Pilliner is being asked to surrender to the police immediately.

The woman, who was engulfed by flames, managed to escape from the burning building with the assistance of residents who took her to the hospital where she underwent treatment.

A bar and carwash, reportedly operated by the woman, was also set on fire.
