At around 10:00 hours on Christmas Day, a resident observed smoke emanating from the bottom flat of the two-storey house.
On checking, the resident found the elderly woman on a bed which was engulfed in flames.
“With the assistance of public-spirited persons she was evacuated and the fire extinguished,” a release stated.
Police said that the son, who is in custody and is said to be an alcoholic has admitted to setting the fire.
A post mortem is expected to be done today.
