By A Correspondent- Father to the deceased girl, Mr Joseph Fenyere who owns Plot 2, said he was not at home when the mishap occurred.

“I was informed that a helicopter had crashed onto our house after deflecting from a tree branch at a hilly platform a few metres away and burst into flames.

“When the house caught fire, my three children; twin girls, Jade and Jada were asleep inside, while their four-year-old sibling, Dean, was seated in the doorway,” said Mr Fenyere.
‘Upon hearing the bang, the mother and other people at the scene took flight but she later tried to retrieve her children from the burning house.
By then, Jade had already died while Dean was out of danger”, he said.

The 18-month-old Jade, was sleeping with her twin sister, Jada, when the chopper plunged into their house.
Jada escaped with burns together with the mother who later tried to rescue them.
The mother and Jada were taken to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals and later transferred to Trauma Centre in Borrowdale for treatment, and were reportedly in a stable condition last night.
There were three crew members on board, two pilots and a technician.
The three died on the spot.
