According to police sources, the deceased’s parents, Mary Madhinga (28) and Willard Uladi (39), left their three children at their homestead going to work.

The eldest (eight-year-old) lit a fire in the kitchen and went to fetch some water, leaving her siblings behind.

When she returned, she found the hut on fire with the infant already burnt to death.
