The regional fire officer said the body had since been buried. In another development Mr. Afful said one of two sisters burnt to death whilst studying in their room with a candle. He said the sisters, aged 15 and eight years, were studying with a candle light in a locked room but all of a sudden they saw fire spreading fast in the room. The eight-year-old hid inside a wardrobe whilst the senior sister tried to force the door open amidst shouts for help. Mr Afful said neighbours tried to rescue the girls but their efforts were hindered by the intensity of the blaze. He said firemen were called to the scene later but they had problem getting access to the area with their tender because routes to the house were blocked with wooden structures and containers.
