One person managed to escape before the house caught on fire.
Flames were seen erupting from the first floor at the front of the building, while the fire spread to the upper floor at the rear.

A burnt body was discovered on the first floor, and a female relative was provided with emergency counseling on-site. Apart from the couple, no one else was legally registered to live in the house.
