Three fire engines put out the fire, but it was too late - all five people inside were dead, including a three-year-old boy. Nun Sareth told police that an issue with an electric connection in the house caused the fire.
But, police investigators and members of the Child Protection Unit were not convinced. The police questioned how Nun Sareth did not have any time to save any members of his family.
