Deveca Rose, a 29-year-old woman from Sutton, has been charged with manslaughter and child abandonment in connection to the tragic fire in south London that claimed the lives of four young brothers in December 2021. The children, two sets of twin boys aged three and four, were found by firefighters in breathing apparatus during an “intense blaze” and despite attempts to administer CPR, they were later pronounced dead in two separate south London hospitals.
Ms Rose is scheduled to appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on December 11 as the Metropolitan Police undertake an “extremely complex investigation” with the support of the London Fire Brigade and Crown Prosecution Service. Throughout their investigation, officers have recognized the significant impact of the incident on the local community.
As more details of the case emerge, the community has continued to come together in the wake of this unspeakable tragedy. Flowers were laid near the scene of the fire as a tribute to the four young boys who lost their lives. The incident has drawn sympathy and support from across London, highlighting the impact that such tragedies can have on all of us, and the importance of continued efforts to support those affected by similar situations.
