GRENADA – House fire claims the lives of two children

Two brothers, one only two months old, died when fire gutted their two storey home in Fontenoy on Sunday.

Police said that three-year-old Jamal Frederick and his two-month-old brother, Javonte were asleep with their five-year-old brother, while their mother had gone to a nearby grocery shop.

The five-year-old, whose name was not disclosed, escaped unharmed.

Police said that the cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

So far this year, five people have died as a result of fires.

In March, three members of a family were also killed when fire gutted their home in the eastern parish of St Andrew.
