A 10-year old boy has burnt to death in a caravan in Theunissen near the Free State.

The caravan was being occupied by Louis van der Linde and three people; they were all sleeping in the caravan when it caught fire.

Two children and a man sharing the caravan were dragged out of the caravan by family and friends, who were in the near by tent.

Louis van der Linde could not be rescued as the caravan collapsed on top of him, and he burnt to death.

The man and two children sustained burns and smoke inhalation. Police are now investigating the cause of the fire.
