A mother has been charged with manslaughter after her four children died in a fire in south London in 2021.

Deveca Rose, 29, of Sutton, was also charged with child abandonment on 9 November 2023, the Met Police said.

Leyton and Logan Hoath, aged three, and Kyson and Bryson Hoath, aged four, died after a fire in Collingwood Road, Sutton, at around 19:00 GMT on 16 December 2021.

Ms Rose is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on 11 December.

Flowers were left near the scene

Firefighters in breathing apparatus removed the four brothers from the mid-terrace house during the “intense blaze” and gave them CPR.

They were taken to two south London hospitals where they were pronounced dead.

The Met Police said its “extremely complex investigation continues” into the fire, supported by the London Fire Brigade and Crown Prosecution Service.

A spokesperson for the force added that they recognise it had a “significant impact on the local community”.
