Kyana (22) testifies for the first time about the horrific fire that took away her family: “He shouted: ‘Help us, we are going to die'”

“Two weeks ago we planned Lorina’s first birthday party, two days later I had to arrange her funeral as well as that of her brother and dad.” When Kyana Doven (22) talks about the past few weeks, she still doesn’t seem to fully understand what happened to her. How that devastating fire in a Ghent neighborhood took her family away. For the first time she looks back and we have a candid and emotional conversation about that last Father’s Day, the heroic deed of her son Joshua (4) and that jet-black smoke that absorbed everything. “I heard Alyas shout: ‘Help us, we are going to die’.”
