Inside the room, police discovered the body of Noordin Billow Ali lying on a bed, completely burned.
Preliminary reports indicate that the man’s wife had left the home earlier in the morning with their children for school, leaving him asleep. She is said to have locked the house before returning later to find it already engulfed in flames, with emergency responders on the scene.
The fire also destroyed household items whose value has not yet been determined.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, and investigations are ongoing. The scene was processed by crime scene officers, and the body was moved to City Mortuary for post-mortem examination.
