A 15 YEAR old boy has reportedly been killed after an inferno totally razed down a nine bedroom house at Tarkwa Maakro near Suame, in the Ashanti region.

The deceased, who has since been identified only as Hassan, was said to have been trapped inside his room around 11pm on Monday evening when the blaze suddenly commenced.

According to reports, there were four other people in the house when the fire started, but they were lucky as they were able to flee from harm’s path to help save their lives.

Unfortunately for Hassan, his room was locked with a security door, which is popularly known as ‘China door’ and he was unable to open it when he saw the fire outbreak.

Hassan, upon realizing that his life was in great danger, reportedly cried bitterly and begged for help from other occupants in the house, who couldn’t do anything to help

Eyewitnesses report indicated that one Prince, who lives in the same house, said Hassan persistently called him to rescue him, but he couldn’t go through the fire to save him.

Officials of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) were eventually called and they rushed to the place to douse the blaze, bit it was too late as Hassan had been killed already.

Meanwhile, the fire fighters have commenced investigations to help ascertain what really caused the fire outbreak, which consumed the nine bedroom house and household items.
