Fund raising for house fire victims in the Cook Islands

Posted at 03:24 on 10 December, 2012 UTC

A fundraising appeal is underway in the Cook Islands for four families who have lost their homes in house fires in the past 3 weeks.

One of the organisers, Myland Lane, who had previously lived in one of the houses, says she wanted to give something back.

At least 3 of the fires are being treated as suspicious.

Cook Islands police said last week they were working through a list of suspects.
