Pregnant mother and her 2 children burnt to death at Ohwim

A pregnant mother and her children have died after fire gutted their home at Ohwim in Kumasi, Monday night.

The family died when they got trapped in their rooms.

The charred remains of Philomena Osei and her two boys have since been deposited at the morgue of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

Residents say the recent fire outbreak in the 3-bedroom house makes it the third in a short period, hence some suspect arson.

A team of Police, Fire and NADMO officials who visited the scene are yet to establish the cause of the fire as preliminary investigations get underway.

Ashanti Regional Fire Commander, ACFO Henry Giwah, is advising people to make alternative exit points in their homes so they can escape from fire incidents.
