The Metropolitan Police Service of London said in a statement that Deveca Rose, 29, has also been charged with child abandonment.
On December 16th, 2021, at around 7 p.m., a fire in the Sutton neighborhood of south London claimed the lives of the four children, Leyton and Logan Hoath, ages 3, and Kyson and Bryson Hoath, ages 4.
The four boys were overcome by smoke as the massive fire tore through the ground floor of the mid-terraced house.
Within three minutes, sixty firefighters arrived on the scene and attempted to save the boys.
Firefighters managed to pull the children out of the fire, but sadly, they were not able to be saved.
“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,’’ police said in a statement.
Rose is set to appear at the Croydon Magistrates Court on Monday, December 11th.
