The fire, suspected to be of electrical origin, erupted in the two-storey building at around 00:45hrs.

Residents reportedly saw the building engulfed in flames and called the Fire Service.

However, by the time the fire was doused, it was too late.

Inews understands that the electricity supply to the house was disconnected but recently reconnected after payments were made.

It is suspected that the fluctuation in the current caused the fire.

The woman, who lived alone, was last seen alive yesterday.

An investigation has been launched.
