A senior citizen was killed in a fire which engulfed her home in Jalan Hoover, Pasir Pinji, near Ipoh early this morning.
75-year old Ho Moo Fong was found lying on the ground next to her home by firefighters rushing to the scene at about 4am this morning.
“The victim was badly burned, with burn marks on 40% of her body,” Perak Fire and Rescue Department director Yahaya Madis told mStar.
Ho was believed to have lived in the partial-wood single-storey home by herself.
Authorities are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
