According to some witness, the victims are family members who live on Do Xuan Hop Street. Le Thi Hue, 50, her daughter, two sons and a daughter-in-law were found dead in the house fire.


"The fire broke out at about 4am at their 40-square-metre house which lies deep in a small lane," a local resident said. "Fire police arrived some 15 minutes after that but as the fire spread so fast, the victims could not escape."
