A man was on Monday night burnt beyond recognition in his house at Mtua village, Mabuye sublocation in Matete subcounty. Peter Mukhwabi’s two children aged five and three escaped death in the fire outbreak. His brother, Nicholas Juma, said the fire was caused by a tin lamp. Mukhwabi is said to have knocked the lamp while asleep. Juma said Mukhwabi’s efforts to escape failed as he suffocated in the heavy smoke. He said one of the children was injured in the head. The fire destroyed property worth thousands of shillings.
