Barely three weeks after a family of seven was burnt to death in Ashanti Mampong in the Ashanti Region, another family of three has also been consumed by fire in Santasi.
The deceased include a 49 year old mother of three who sells cooked rice and beans (waakye), her assistant and a Junior High School student who’s sitting the ongoing Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) which ends today.
It is not clear what caused the fire which started around 1 am at a time the victims were deep alseep.
However residents suspect foul play. They claim about six months ago there was a similar incident where some unidentified persons torched the house and fled, but fortunately the fire was put out at it’s early stage.
The police have since visited the scene of the incident and have conveyed the charred body of the victims.
