Tragic house fire in Sutton claims lives of two sets of twins
- Deveca Rose is accused of leaving her four children locked in the house while she went to Sainsbury's.
- A neighbor attempted to rescue the children, but the fire was too severe for entry.
- Rose faces serious charges, including manslaughter, as investigations reveal neglectful conditions in the home.
On December 16, 2021, a tragic house fire occurred in Sutton, south London, resulting in the deaths of two sets of twins, aged four and three. The children's mother, Deveca Rose, is accused of leaving them locked inside the house while she went shopping at Sainsbury's. Prosecutors allege that Rose left the children unattended, leading to the devastating fire that engulfed the home. Neighbors attempted to rescue the children but were unable to enter due to the intensity of the flames. Emergency services arrived promptly, but despite their efforts, the children could not be saved. The boys were transported to hospitals, where lifesaving attempts were made, but unfortunately, they did not survive. Rose was later arrested for child neglect after she claimed to have left the children in the care of a woman named Jade, whose existence has been called into question by investigators. The prosecution argues that Rose's account of events is inconsistent and that Jade may not have existed at all. This raises serious concerns about Rose's responsibility as a caregiver. The court proceedings have revealed disturbing conditions within the home, including rubbish and human excrement, suggesting neglect. As the trial continues, Rose faces four counts of manslaughter and one count of child cruelty. The case has drawn significant public attention, highlighting the tragic consequences of neglect and the importance of child safety.
