Birkenhead Woman found fatally burned -on the 6th April,she was alone in the house and apparently had been putting down paraffin to get rid of a pest of ants.
Some of the oil got onto her clothing which came in contact with a naked light. She was found lying in a passage at the side of her house badly buried and remained unconscious until her death in hospital some hours later.
