The minor had been locked inside the house together with his two siblings who were rescued by the neighbors.
Unluckily one minor was burnt beyond recognition while the two were left nursing burns.
“The mother had locked the house from the outside and we still don’t know the cause of the fire but one minor died and two others were rescued,” said one of the neighbors.
