Two people have been burnt to death when fire destroyed and razed their four-bedroom house at Fiapre in the Sunyani West Municipality of the Bono Region in the early hours of Thursday, January 18.
The police had since deposited the bodies of Alex Antwi, 35, and a 17-year-old girl, only known as Adiza, at the Sunyani Teaching Hospital for autopsy.
