Four people, including two children, were killed when their house in Thu Dau Mot Town in the southern province of Binh Duong caught fire early Sunday.

The youngest victim was a three-year old girl.

Neighbors in an alley on April 30 Street said they rushed to the scene when they heard heard cries for help emanating from the house at 12:30 a.m.; only to find it locked from the inside.

When firefighters destroyed the door and extinguished the flames, they discovered bodies of a husband, wife and their two children in the wreckage.

Police believe the fire was caused by a short cicuit. Further investigations are ongoing.

Thu Dau Mot is around 30 km (nearly 19 miles) north of Ho Chi Minh City.
