The tragic deaths of a mother and her five children in a house fire are now classified as a cold case, according to information obtained by the BBC. In October 2012, Dr. Sabah Usmani and her five children—Hira, aged 12; Sohaib, 11; Muneeb, nine; Rayyan, six; and Maheen, three—lost their lives in a blaze at their home in Harlow.
Authorities have stated that there are currently no promising leads to follow but will remain open to evaluating any new evidence that may arise. The only survivor of the devastating event was the children’s father, Dr. Abdul Shakoor, who has expressed fears that he may not live to see the case resolved.

Detectives will not be engaging in daily active searches for new leads, but the case itself remains open. Dr. Shakoor has been informed that, barring any fresh information, Essex Police plan to review the investigation again in ten years’ time.

It is the matter of the six lives lost, all innocent.
