Tragedy struck a family at Krapa in the Ejisu municipality on Saturday when the room in which a two-year-old boy was sleeping caught fire and burnt the boy to death.
The incident happened about 8pm. The deceased, Abu Asem, was said to have been left in the candle-lit room by her mother, who had gone out to buy some items from a nearby shop.
An uncle of the deceased, Mr. Isaac Prab, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that while the mother was returning, she saw her three-bedroom apartment engulfed in flames.
He said it took fire fighters about an hour to put out the fire before recovering little Asem�s charred body.
The Ejisu Police confirmed the incident and said the body had been deposited at the Juaben Government Hospital for autopsy.
