Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Stacey Atkinson of the Homicide and Major Enquiry team said: “Extensive enquiries remain ongoing today in what is very much a live and active investigation. 

“Specialist officers are continuing to support the family. They are understandably devastated at their loss, and we would ask that their privacy is respected. 

“We are continuing to appeal for any information in relation to the fire, and keen to speak to anyone who might have any information to come forward.”
