A woman has been charged two years after her four sons died in a fire in south London.

Deveca Rose, 29, has been accused of four counts of manslaughter after her two sets of twins died at a home in Collingwood Road, Sutton, on December 16, 2021.

Leyton and Logan Hoath, aged three, and Kyson and Bryson Hoath, aged four, were all rushed to the hospital but were pronounced dead shortly afterwards.

Rose was charged last month with four counts of manslaughter, contrary to common law, and child abandonment, contrary to the Children and Young Persons Act of 1933.

She’s set to appear at Croydon Magistrates Court tomorrow (on Monday, December 11).

A spokesman 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 including the Crown Prosecution Service and London Fire Brigade.

"It is imperative that no material or comments are published or shared online that could prejudice future court proceedings."
