Hartbeesfontein- North West police are investigating a case of inquest after a 71 year-old man was allegedly razed in a blazing fire on Friday at Oblate Farm, near Hartbeesfontein.

Sergeant Kealeboga Molale said the man stayed alone in a shack while his family reside in a main house in the same yard.

“A 71 year-old man allegedly took a paraffin lamp to his room and sent his good-byes to his wife. The family was woken up by neighbours who saw the fire. The man was burnt beyond recognition and his shack was reduced to ashes” Molale said.

Police investigation continues and no foul play is suspected.-TDN
