A TWO-YEAR-OLD girl was burned to death and her grandparents suffered severe burns in a fire at their home in the Pudong New Area in the early hours of yesterday morning.

There were six people in the villa when the fire broke out, two children, their parents and grandparents, according to an STV report. The two-year-old died while her grandparents, aged 56 and 59, were severely burned but are said to be in stable condition. The rest of the family were reported safe.
