The scene where the incident took place

4-year-old child burnt to death in Western Region
A four-year-old boy has been burnt to death in a
fire outbreak at a house in Tarkwa in the Western
Region.

The boy, Walid Mohammed, said to be sick, was left
in a room by his father who was taking care of him
at the time. Mother of the child had left him in
the care of his father who also left him in their
room to buy something nearby.

It is unclear what caused the fire on the house
that is opposite the Tarkwa DVLA office. Although
personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service were
called in, they could not save the child from the
fire which got out of control. The child’s
charred body was later retrieved by the Fire
Service personnel.

According to the landlord who gave his name only
as Ibrahim, he had asked the bereaved family to
vacate the place, which is an outer apartment in
his house but they pleaded for more time because
they do not have the financial means to rent a
place.
