I tried to save him – Brother of late actor Mawuli Semevo shares tragic details

The brother of veteran actor Mawuli Semevo has shared a chilling account of the events leading to his brother’s tragic demise.

According to him, Mawuli had returned home after a TV3 interview, completed some work on his laptop, and retired to bed. However, later that night, he was startled by distressing screams.

“I rushed to his location and saw thick smoke. The house was in flames,” he recounted. “I entered to assess the situation and came out, hoping he had already made it to safety.”

He revealed that Mawuli initially managed to escape to the kitchen but inexplicably returned to the bedroom, possibly to retrieve some belongings.

“That was when disaster struck. He got trapped as the fire’s intensity increased,” he said, his voice heavy with emotion in interview with One Ghana TV monitored by MyNewsGh.

In a desperate bid to save his brother, he soaked himself in water and re-entered the burning house.

“I tied a rope to a nearby bed and threw it to him, telling him to hold on so I could pull him out. But it didn’t work,” he painfully recalled.

He assured Mawuli that help was on the way, as firefighters were en route.

However, by the time they were rescued, his brother had sustained severe burns on his limbs, face, and legs.
