A double murder investigation has been launched after two young children tragically died in a fire that broke out in a flat in Nottingham. Emergency services were alerted of the fire at Fairisle Close in the Clifton area of the city at around 3.17am this morning.
A woman has been left fighting for her life after the blaze and two children, aged one and three, have died, Devon Live reports. The fire broke out in a first floor flat of a two-storey residential home. Neighbouring properties were temporarily evacuated while firefighters tackled the blaze, which was extinguished at around 4am.
The woman and two young children were treated at the scene by East Midlands Ambulance Service for smoke inhalation before being rushed to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham. Tragically, the two children were pronounced dead at the hospital and the woman remains in a critical condition.
A joint fire and police investigation has concluded that the fire was started deliberately. Detective Chief Inspector Greg McGill, who is leading the investigation, said: “These are tragic and very sad circumstances and my thoughts are with the family of those involved.
“Following a joint investigation with Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service we have established that the fire was started deliberately. We are appealing for witnesses who were in the area at that time and saw something suspicious to please come forward and help us with the investigation.
"We have a team of detectives who are working hard to establish the circumstances and our inquiries remain in their early stages.” Any members of the public who have any information are encouraged to submit this through the Major Incident Public Portal.
