A residential house fire at 6 Peter Coppin Street, Bonner, ACT on 19 February 2018 killed Anne Wachera Muhoro (44), Ezvin Munene Mugera (8), and Furaha Murathime Muhoro (5). The fire had multiple seats of ignition and was deliberate, not accidental. Anne died from inhalation of combustion products and burns.
