VAIKOM: An elderly woman, suffering from hearing impairment, was charred to death after her house caught fire on Saturday in Kollanthanam. Mary (75), the sole resident of the house and a native of Kollanthanam, died on Saturday morning in the grave incident.

Seeing smoke emanating from the house, the locals tried to douse the fire and jumped into action. But their efforts proved insufficient to bring this under control, so the fire brigade was summoned. Despite doing tireless work, Mary’s life could not be saved. Mary's body has been shifted to Vaikom Taluk Hospital.

According to police, the house had no electricity at the time of the incident and the fire might have been caught from a lamp. Police will investigate the case further.
