A mum has paid tribute to her "incredible" daughter who died as she slams a gas company after an explosion tore through her house.
Sahara Salman, four, was killed as three others were injured in a blast that sent debris flying through the air in Thornton Heath, South London on Monday morning. The Mirror reports that mum Sana Ahmad, 28, says her "world has been torn apart" as she paid tribute to her "incredible little girl".
Sahara, who was going to turn five next month, was reported missing in the aftermath of the explosion. The London Ambulance Service later confirmed she had passed away that afternoon.
The grieving mum told the Evening Standard: "She died a month before her 5th birthday and we had so many plans in place. She was starting school in September - her uniform was bought, it was in the house and all of this could have been prevented if people weren't being lazy and had done their job properly. That's the fact of the matter."
She added: "The world is so cruel. We have lost our daughter who is our pride and our joy.
"This world didn't deserve somebody who was so special. It's our loss.
"She was the most amazing thing to ever walk this planet."
Ms Ahmad said she was on the phone with her mum when the explosion crumbled their home. She says when she tried to grab her children, Sahara's room had already collapsed.
Ms Ahmad described the explosion as "like missiles". She says her dad and uncle immediately ran to the property and broke down the door to get the family out.
Ms Ahmad has also hit out at Southern Gas Networks (SGN) after claiming she called the gas supplier about a suspected gas leak on July 30. She also said that SGN sent someone to investigate the leak on July 31 and was told there were no major issues.
