'We believe that the fire was started deliberately, and that this incident was domestic related,' police have said
Aerial images show the horror that has engulfed a home and killed a woman and three children, aged nine, five and one. The 'deliberate' house fire has been followed by a major investigation started by West Yorkshire Police.
The tragedy has shaken neighbours in Westbury Road, Bradford, who reported hearing “screams” coming from the home as five fire engines and a dozen ambulances arrived just at the scene after 2am. Others saw smoke “billowing out of the house” and smelled “burned rubber” as the property went up in flames.Floral tributes continue to be placed outside of the home and the street remains cordoned off by police.
Superintendent Lucy Leadbeater of Bradford Police read the below update at the scene today: “Shortly after 2am this morning, officers were called to a report of a house fire on Westbury Road in Bradford. “Whilst enquiries are in their early stages, we believe that the fire was started deliberately, and that this incident was domestic-related. A 39-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in a critical condition in hospital.
