A Shishmaref man intentionally set fire to his girlfriend’s home after beating her and her brother this week, according to a charging document filed in the case.
Just after midnight Sunday, 35-year-old Ward Kakoona was drinking at a friend’s house with his girlfriend and became angry, according to a sworn affidavit signed by Alaska State Trooper Kristen Benge. His girlfriend brought him to her home “in hopes he would go to sleep,” the affidavit said.
Kakoona instead became more agitated and eventually beat and choked her, according to the affidavit. When she broke free, the woman went to a neighbor’s home and called troopers for help, Benge wrote.
