Grilles on windows may have prevented fire victims from escaping, says Fire Dept


The victims – Matthew Wong, 50, his wife Jecky Vun Kon Fung, 47, and their children Brendan, 18, and Eric, 15 – were found dead on the upper level of the house. Sabah Fire and Rescue Department operations assistant director Misran Bisara said the remains of the victims were found in two locations. He added that this could have hampered their escape, coupled with the fact that the windows were fitted with grilles, preventing them from getting out. He said the department received a distress call from the victims' neighbour at 2.52am and arrived at the scene five minutes later. The victims' bodies have been handed over to the police for further action.
