A mother and her 2 children have been killed by a fire outbreak in the private residence at Ohwim in the Bantama sub metro of the Kumasi metropolis.
The woman identified as Philomena and her 2 kids aged 8 and 4 were reportedly burnt beyond recognition.
According to the Assemblyman for Ohwim Hon. Erastus Ebo Boison, the fire started around 12 midnight.
He said the cause of the fire is yet to be known but personally suspects arson. “One of the deceased children aged 14 who managed to escape the fire told me all she saw was fire but was able to step out because she was sleeping in a different room”, he added.
Husband of the late was not around at the time of the incident.
Meanwhile police and fire service personnel have commenced investigations into the issue.
