Two of the six people accused in connection with the arson on October 16 in the Moisie sector have pleaded not guilty.

Laboratory tests are still awaited to determine the cause of his death.

The four other people charged in connection with the arson will have to decide whether to plead guilty or not guilty on February 3.
