IPOH, May 29 (Bernama) – A man was burnt to death while his mother was hurt after fire razed their double storey house in Kampung Tasek, Pengkalan Hulu, this morning.
Pengkalan Hulu district police chief DSP Anuar Omar said the victim was identified as Songkran A/L Cheong Sim, 26, while his mother Cheong Meng Chee, 50s, was hurt in the legs and body.
The charred remains were found in the living room on the ground floor after firemen put out the blaze one hour after it began at 5.57am.
Anuar said the charred remains were sent to Baling Hospital for autopsy while the mother was also treated at the same hospital. Cheong said she tried to rescue her son Songkran but failed as the fire spread quickly. The cause of the fire is being investigated.
