A mother has been charged with manslaughter in relation to a house fire in Sutton in Ashfield that killed four young children.
Two sets of twin brothers – Leyton and Logan Hoath, aged three, and Kyson and Bryson Hoath, aged four – were killed after a fire broke out at an address in Beighton Street, Sutton in Ashfield, on June 24 2024.
Deveca Rose, of Sutton, has now been charged with four counts of manslaughter and child abandonment.
The 29-year-old is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
Emergency services had been called to the terraced house at around 7pm, but despite the best efforts of rescuers, the four children were pronounced dead after being taken to hospital.
In a statement given to Mail Online, their father, Dalton Hoath, said: “Myself and my family are utterly devastated by this tragic loss.
“They were bright, caring, lovable boys, but most of all sons, brothers, grandsons, great-grandsons, nephews and cousins.
“We would like to thank all the emergency services who did so much to try and save our boys, and also the local community who have come together at this difficult time.”
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: “Officers understand the significant impact on the local community following this devastating incident, and they would like to reassure people that this extremely complex investigation continues, supported by partner agencies .
“It is imperative that no material or comments are published or shared online that could prejudice future court proceedings.
