An update on this tragic story...


An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a house fire left four siblings dead.
The teenager, from Lytham, Lancashire, was arrested following the fire last Saturday evening.
Police confirmed today the fire was started inside a wardrobe in one of the bedrooms at the house on Lytham Road, Freckleton.

Four people, Reece Smith, 19, four-year-old twin girls Holly and Ella Smith and Jordan Smith, two, were killed in the blaze.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Esseen, from Lancashire Police, said: 'I can confirm that this fire is now being treated as suspicious. We are following a number of lines of inquiry and have spoken with a number of people who were at the house on the night in question.
'However, I would still urge anybody who has any information which they believe could assist us with our investigation to come forward.'

Yesterday it emerged smoke alarms in the house were not working when the tragedy occurred.
Post-mortem examinations gave the cause of the four deaths as smoke inhalation.
Lancashire Fire Service confirmed the smoke alarms were fitted but were not working when the fire started.
The family allowed the Fire Service to reveal the information in the hope other families would test their smoke alarms to avert similar tragedies.
