Trapped in their burning home, a woman and her two young children perished in a fire early yesterday morning. They were unable to get past the burglar-proofed windows.
Fazeeda Ali-Gabriel, 34, was found lying in a corridor. Her children, Leandra, 14, and ten-year-old Aaron Kyle, were huddled in a bedroom, investigators said.
Her husband, Daniel Persad, 36, and 12-year-old daughter, Deandra Crystal, squeezed through a window and escaped.
Persad was listed in serious condition at the San Fernando General Hospital last evening. He suffered burns to the chest, back, arms and face. Deandra was being treated for minor burns at the same health facility.
The fire broke out around 3 a.m. while the family slept at their Battoo Avenue, Marabella, home.
Neighbours tried to rescue the family.
