Bafoussam: Charcoal oven ‘kills’ two children

Two children have been found dead in the West Region after reportedly ‘inhaling a toxic gas’ from their mother’s charcoal oven. The two kids are aged 7 and 2; a boy and a girl respectively.

Reports say it all began on Saturday 22.04.2017 when their mother lit the charcoal oven to cook her corn chaff.  And this morning they were found dead in the house.

The mother who is in a clinic responding to medical attention is recovering gradually. She is expected to help in shedding more light on the incidence when she regains strength.

The father of the kids is currently speechless in the face of the shock.
