Kabwe,  May , 20, 2013, ZANIS–Two children were burnt to ashes

which happened in his constituency around 02 hours today

involved a mother and her two children.

 

Mr Mapoka said the family could have left a lit candle when it

retired to sleep.

 

He named the deceased male children as Gift Nakaonga six (6), and a

one  year eight months old baby James Nakaonga of the same family.

 

He said the mother of the children Bedsheba Liche, 25, survived death

after escaping from the inferno, and that she was currently nursing

serious burns in Kabwe General Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

to assist the family to bury the two children.
