A mother and her three children who died in a London house fire have been named.
Nusrat Usman, 43, Maryam Mikaiel, 15, Musa Usman, eight, and Raees Usman, four, all sadly lost their lives at the fire which ravaged through their property in Tillett Close, Stonebridge at around 1am yesterday.
Firefighters, who were called to the scene by neighbours, rescued Mrs Usman and one of her children from the second floor but paramedics were unable to resuscitate them.
The other two children were found dead inside the property.
A girl aged 13 remains in hospital in a 'critical condition' while a woman in her 70s has been discharged.
A 41-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. He has since been bailed and subsequently detained under the Mental Health Act.
