Police have arrested a man and a woman on suspicion of killing four children in a house fire.

The 24-year-old woman and 28-year-old man are being quizzed on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence.

Firefighters, police and ambulance crews scrambled to the house in Sycamore Lane, Stafford, at around 2.40am, on Tuesday (5/2).

Riley, eight, Keegan, six, Tilly Rose, four, and three-year-old Olly all died in the fire that brought down the roof of their home.

Mum Natalie Unitt, 24, escaped by jumping out of a first floor bedroom window with her partner Chris Moulton, 28, who was clutching their two-year-old son Jack.

Witnesses reportedly heard mum-of-five Natalie screaming: “My babies, my babies!” as the fire tore through the family home.

Staffordshire Police confirmed the man and woman were arrested at 1.30pm today (Fri).

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
