Cause of the
incident was still in doubt when reporter got to the scene but speculations
were rife that the fire began at about 1am, Boxing Day, from one of the rooms
occupied by one of the commercial sex workers at a popular brothel in the area.
Corpses of
the victims, one young man and that of a young lady believed to be in her
thirties were burnt beyond recognition, sympathizers explained.
The raging
fire, it was gathered, extended to other apartments and near-by buildings
through electricity cables, taking out provisions, electric and pharmaceutical
shops in the affected buildings.
“Corpses of
the lady and most likely her male client were found on the same spot”, according
to witness after their remains were taken to an undisclosed morgue.
Victims and
sympathizers were seen lamenting the unfortunate fire.
