Mother on Trial for Manslaughter After Four Boys Die in Sutton House Fire

Deveca Rose is accused of leaving her children alone in a home filled with rubbish and human waste, leading to their deaths in a fire.

Deveca Rose, 29, faces charges of manslaughter and child cruelty after her two sets of twin boys died in a house fire.
The boys, aged three and four, were found under a bed in their Sutton home, which was filled with rubbish and human excrement.
The fire, caused by a discarded cigarette or tea light, spread rapidly due to the amount of clutter in the house.
Rose claimed she left the children with a friend named Jade, but no evidence of Jade's existence was found by investigators.
The children were known to social services, but their case was closed three months before the fire despite concerns from their paternal family.
