BUCHANAN — In a shocking incident that has stunned the New Buchanan community, Trokon Toure, a young man believed to be struggling with drug addiction, allegedly set fire to his parents’ three-bedroom house on Sunday afternoon.
Eyewitnesses recount a disturbing scene where Trokon was seen near the house, igniting flames that quickly engulfed the property. According to residents of Block D in New Buchanan, Trokon was observed throwing an incendiary device onto the roof of the house before swiftly fleeing the scene.
