TV footage showed the burned-out structure, its floor littered with twisted metal, blackened corrugated iron roofing and other debris.

房主是一位名叫羅斯(Ros)的老婦人，她告訴MetroTV，過去四年里，她把房子租給了省會棉蘭的一位商人。

另一名男子索菲亞說，他的妻子和10歲的女兒在火災中喪生，他們被一扇上鎖且被設備堵住的前門擋住了逃生的路，他和里扎說，大火是從房子后面開始的。

"Only a DNA test can confirm the bodies," said Sofyan, who uses a single name. "I want to bring them home soon regardless of their condition. I want to bury them immediately."

“只有DNA測試才能確認這些尸體，”索芬說。“我想盡快把他們帶回家，不管他們的情況如何。我想馬上把它們埋了。”
