KUALA LUMPUR: Police are expected to interview the parents of two children perished in a pre-dawn fire in Kampung Simpang Tiga, Gombak recently.

Acting Selangor police chief Datuk S. Sasikala Devi said the couple will be called in to record their statements soon.

"We understand that they may be going through a tough moment, hence we have given them time before calling them in for statements," she said in a press conference today.

Asked if the couple will be arrested for alleged negligence, she said police will record their statements first before taking further action.

In the 3.30am incident on Jan 2, three houses in the area were razed.

The children's parents were reportedly not at home when the fire broke out.

Those perished in the fire were identified as Nur Syafiza Alfisya Muhammad Fauzan, 9, and her brother, Muhammad Al Qayyum Muhammad Fauzan, 6.
