An investigation is underway to determine the cause of four deaths in a house fire in River Road, Nasinu yesterday.

Thirty-one year old Ranjana Wati is alleged to have set the house on fire with her three children aged four, three and the youngest – an eighteen month old baby – locked inside.

Neighbours claim the deceased woman had returned from CWM hospital around mid-day after visiting her husband- a bus driver who attempted to commit suicide earlier this week.

She adds they’re working closely with the National Fire Authority to determine the cause of the fire.
