At around 04:00 am on Saturday, 6 May 2023, Police received a report of a house fire at Tofoa which tragically claimed the lives of an 82-year-old grandmother and her young 5-year-old granddaughter.
At the time of the unfortunate incident, the deceased were the only people inside the house. Tonga Police therefore urged the public of the importance of always having adult and appropriate supervision for vulnerable members of our respective families, especially, for our elderlies and young children.
The Tonga Fire & Emergency Services with Tonga Police actively attended the scene. Investigators from both essential services are working together to determine the cause of fire.
Tonga Police offers its heartfelt condolences to the family during this difficult time. It is hard enough losing a loved one, more so during May, which is a time to celebrate with family.
Contact Police on 740-1630, 740-1632 or 922 to report any crime.
