Police and fire officials are trying to determine how a fire started that took the lives of a St. Philip woman and her infant daughter.

The bodies of 43 year old Kimberly Greenidge and her eight year old daughter were found in their burnt out home at Heddings Development after fire officers extinguished the blaze early this morning.

Acting police public relations officer, Inspector Stephen Griffith, briefed journalists at the scene.
