Mum guilty over horror deaths of four sons in fire

THE mother of four little boys who died after their home caught fire when she left them alone was yesterday found guilty of manslaughter.

Deveca Rose, 30, had locked the two sets of young twins in her rented terraced home while she went out to a nearby Sainsbury's store.

But after the horrific blaze broke out, tragic Kyson and Bryson Hoath, aged four, and Leyton and Logan Hoath, aged three, were all found under beds by firefighters.

They were rushed to two hospitals where they were later pronounced dead. All of them died from inhalation of fire fumes.

Rose, who had split up with her partner and suffered from mental health problems, had denied the charges against her.

She was found guilty of four counts of manslaughter by a jury at the Old Bailey. But the mum was found not guilty of child cruelty.
