A taxi driver who took the suspected arsonist who caused a large explosion on Broadway Wednesday said the man was half-naked when he stepped into the cab, and had a faint smell of gasoline on him.

Kwok Yee Cheung (trans) was driving the Vancouver Taxi's No.107 in the early hours of Wednesday, Feb 13, 2008. He was called to pick up a man from the taxi depot on Industrial Ave. His colleague refused to take the man to his Surrey destination.

Cheung told Ming Pao that he picked up the badly burnt man at about 3:12 a.m. on Wednesday. The man wanted to go to the Newton area of Surrey. Cheung said the man was half-naked and had a jacket around his lower body. He was not wearing pants at the time.

Cheung wasn't sure if the man wore any clothing - including underwear - at all.

do you guys believe the wife committed suicide because she wanted to tell the world that she or her family had nothing to do with this?
