Pretoria blaze leaves boy (4) dead

A four-year-old boy was killed in a house fire in Theresa Park, Pretoria North, this morning.

The cause of the incident and the series of events preceding it remain unclear and will form the subject of a South African Police Force investigation.

Common cause information suggests that a fire started early this morning while the child was alone in the house.

Details on how the fire was fought should be obtained by City of Tshwane Fire Department spokespeople.

The boy was declared dead by paramedics at the scene. He had been burnt beyond recognition.
