Fire kills 3 in Umasizakhe
A family of three burned to death when their house on Top Street, Umasizakhe caught fire last weekend. James Holmes (36), Baby de Klerk (39) and their seven-year-old son's cries for help were in vain as flames engulfed their home, with the family trapped inside a room. The police have asked that the child's name be withheld. The three deceased were last seen entering the house at about 8pm.
