Mother and Infant Die In Blaze
MOTHER AND INFANT daughter have died after an explosion in their home. Police believe that it was due to a gas leak.
The infant was confirmed dead on the scene, emercency services said.
The mother was taken to Addenbrooks Hospital and was being treated for her burns after the explosion. After 3 hours of treatment, she was confirmed dead.
Three ambulances and two fire engines arrived at the scene on Goddard Way, Saffron Waldon, within minutes.
"Despite the ambulance, hospital and fire staff's best efforts, sadly, we were not able to save either mother or child." The spokesperson said.
Initially, I had also put this story on the second page of my newspaper, but then decided that if this story was to be reported in the newspaper, it wouldn't be a small section on the second page, it would be a main headliner, on the front page.
