Sutton house fire: Woman, 27, arrested after four kids die in fire
A woman, 27, has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect after four young boys – two sets of twins – were killed in a house fire in South London.
The boys were all aged three and four and were given CPR by firefighters but tragically died in hospitals later.
It is understood the boys had been left home alone.
The cause of Thursday evening’s fire is under investigation.
LFB’s deputy commissioner Richard Mills said firefighters arrived within under three minutes.
“On arrival there were four children in the house,” Mr Mills said.
“Entering a building and rescuing life is always a very difficult place to be.
“The age of the children, the fact they are so young, will have a profound impact on them [the firefighters].
“The cause of the fire is currently unknown and we have fire investigation teams on scene at present along with the Metropolitan Police to determine the cause of the fire.”
