DOZENS of tributes have been laid outside a house after a fire that claimed the lives of six children.
Duwayne Philpott, 13, became the latest victim when he died in the Birmingham Children's Hospital yesterday.
His sister Jade, 10, and brothers John, nine, Jack, seven, Jessie, six, and five-year-old Jayden all perished in the blaze at the house in Derby.
Last night Derbyshire Police said the fire "was not accidental and initial indications are it was deliberately set".
Post-mortems revealed five of the children died of smoke inhalation. A post-mortem has yet to be scheduled for Duwayne, police said.
The children were asleep upstairs when fire broke out at the semi-detached house in the early hours of Friday.
Their father, Mick Philpott – who is believed to have 17 children – made a "valiant" attempt to save them.
A 28-year-old woman and 38-year-old man, both from Derby, were arrested, but later released without charge.
Detectives want anyone with information to contact them.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
