A GIRL, 5, died in a horror fire that left her trapped in her sister's bedroom and unable to be rescued.
Alysia Salisbury was "nowhere to be found" when emergency services were called to a blaze at her family home in Pontyglasier, Pembrokeshire on May 27.
Her two elder sisters were rescued from the fire, but Alysia's body was later discovered in one of their bedrooms.
The five-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
An inquest opened in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, but was adjourned pending further reports from the police who are continuing to carry out their investigations into the fire.
A post mortem examination has been carried out and a pathologist’s report is expected at a later hearing due in October.
