Woman killed in shack fire

A woman burnt to death and her partner sustained burn wounds when their shack caught fire in an informal settlement near Stilbaai in the Western Cape, SABC news reported on Sunday.

Police say Niklaas Robertson was admitted to the Riversdale hospital with burn wounds to the face, arms and chest. It is believed the fire was caused by a burning candle which fell over. A post-mortem would be conducted this week. - Sapa
