Three children and four adults were murdered in a house fire in Bradford. A 29-year-old lady was pronounced deceased at the scene, according to West Yorkshire Police.
After being brought to the hospital, three kids—a five-year-old boy and two girls, ages nine and one—died from their wounds. A man has been taken into custody on murderous suspicions.
At 2:07 a.m. on Wednesday, the fire department called officers to a property on Westbury Road. At the site, a 39-year-old male was taken into custody on suspicion of murder. According to the police, he was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
Detective Chief Inspector Stacey Atkinson, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team at West Yorkshire Police, said: “This is an absolutely devastating incident in which three children and a woman have lost their lives. Our thoughts remain with their family, friends and loved ones.
“Early enquiries show that the fire was started deliberately, and we have arrested one man on suspicion of murder. He is seriously ill in hospital today as a result of injuries caused by the fire. While our enquiries are at an early stage, we do at this time believe the incident is domestic-related.
“We are appealing anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident or who has CCTV or doorbell footage to come forward.”
