A mother has been with manslaughter after four of her children perished in a fire in south London in 2021.
Deveca Rose, 29, of Sutton, was also charged with child abandonment on November 9, 2023, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Leyton and Logan Hoath, aged three, and Kyson and Bryson Hoath, aged four, died in a fire on Collingwood Road, Sutton, on December 16, 2021, around 19:00 GMT.
Ms Rose is scheduled to appear before Croydon Magistrates’ Court on December 11.
