Their Majesties aid mother after children die in fire
Their Majesties the King and Queen yesterday graciously granted a relief kit and cooking utensils to a family who lost two children when their house burned down on Tuesday night.
Pol Colonel Neramit Dusitakorn delivered the supplies to Chutikarn Pholnok, 39, the mother of Sanphit, 13, and his sister Natthapapha Pholnok, 9, who burned to death at their home in Phitsanulok’s Muang district while she was working at a restaurant nearby. The Huaro Tambon Administration Organisation also gave her Bt50,000.
Chutikarn said that because she was unable to pay her Bt441 electricity bill the power to her house had been cut of and she had to buy candles for her children to use while doing their homework.
Later, she said, her neighbours rushed to tell her that her house was ablaze and though she went back to rescue her kids, she could not reach them as the flames were too strong. She is being treated for burns at the Buddhachinaraj Hospital.
Police say they are investigating to determine the cause of the fire.
