Mother and child die in house fire

A woman and a two-year-old girl died in a fire yesterday at their home in Llanybri, near Carmarthen, Dyfed.

The woman's husband was last night being treated in Morriston Hospital, Swansea, for cuts and burns after jumping through a bedroom window and returning to the house through a back door to rescue the couple's two other daughters, four and five.

Police said they were trying to trace close relatives before naming the dead woman, 24, and the child.
