A mother and her four children died in a fire at their Kobriso home in Ejisu, in the Ashanti Region Monday morning
Neigbours told Nhyira FM's Ohemeng Tawiah they heard a loud explosion from the house followed by the fire.
Efforts to rescue the mother identified as Auntie Akua Afriyie also known as 'Ataa Maame', the neighbours said, yielded no results because they could nt break into the building.
All her four children - Victor Serebour (26), Alpha and Omega Serebour, both twins (13) as well as Gloria Serebour (6) - died as a result of severe burns.
Emergency service providers were also not at hand to help rescue the family, according to eye witnesses.
Victor was said to have attempted rescuing his mother and siblings but was caught up in the explosion. He was initially rescued from the blaze alive but was pronounced dead at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Ohemen reported.
The bodies of the deceased have been deposited at the KATH morgue.
