Two children were burnt to death beyond recognition when fire gutted a house at Twemasen, a suburb of Offinso in the Ashanti Region.

Their mother, who is believed to be a health worker at the Offinso Health Centre, managed to escape from the house but she is yet to be located. The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and residents, the fire was brought under control before the remains of the deceased could be retrieved.

According to reports gathered by the Daily Graphic, their mother’s disappearance has since made it difficult for personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) at Offinso to investigate the matter.

The remains of the two kids have been deposited at the morgue for autopsy.
