Beluran: A man was killed in a fire which destroyed a house in Kampung Kobambangan, Paitan, here, on Sunday. The remains of Ritaudin Ghapur, 31, was found following the fire which also damaged a Honda Accord and a Proton Saga Aerobic.

Kinabatangan Fire and Rescue Station Chief Rantey Fred said a team was deployed to the area located 195 kilometres away at about 7.42pm.

He said initial findings showed that the deceased was in the house with his family when the fire broke out.

"The charred remains was discovered by the family members, however no further information could be obtained as the family had already gone to the hospital by the time our team arrived," he explained.

A team from the Kota Marudu Fire and Rescue Department also came to assist in the putting out the fire which was brought under control moments later.

Also at the scene were police and those from the Civil Defence Force.

The cause of fire and estimated losses are still under investigation.
