When officers arrived, they found the house engulfed in flames and smoke.
A 12-year-old girl identified as Kayla and her aunt Cheryl Moore died in the fire.
The fire occurred as the Moores were celebrating Kayla’s birthday.
The home was reportedly set on fire by a male relative.
Silvertown residents apprehended the man and dealt him several blows before handing him over to police.
At around 5:20 yesterday morning, GFS officers responded to a blaze at Good Hope, Essequibo.

GFS sent condolences to the grieving families and said its officers did all in their power to extinguish the blaze.
GFS added that it is working to gather all the necessary details surrounding the fires to help bring closure to the families.
