Buthidaung: Two children were reportedly killed in a fire that broke out last Friday in Ward No. 1 in Buthidaung in western Burma's Arakan State, said a neighbor of the household.
"A fire broke out around 1:00 am last Friday here in Ward No. 1 in our town. Two houses were gutted in the fire and two children were killed in the incident," said the neighbor.
The children were identified as 10-year-old Osman, son of Abu Taher, and 12-year-old Sayadul Naser, daughter of Hamid. They lived in the house where the fire reportedly started from a kerosene lamp while they were asleep. The house was build of wood with a corrugated tin roof.
The neighbor said the fathers of both victims were away from the house at their respective jobs the night of the fire.
Another neighboring house, which was made of bamboo and thatch, was also gutted in the fire. The second home was owned by Asad Ullah.
The source added that the local police and fire-brigade officials came to investigate the fire after the house had already been reduced to ashes, and were looking for the guardians of the home in order to take action against them for negligence.
