A woman has been jailed for 10 years for the manslaughter of her four sons who died in a house fire while she was out shopping. Deveca Rose, 30, had left her two sets of twins alone when a fire ripped through their terraced house in Sutton, south-west London, on 16 December 2021. Four-year-olds Kyson and Bryson Hoath and Leyton and Logan Hoath, three, were unable to escape the locked house and died under a bed. Rose was found guilty of four counts of manslaughter following a trial at the Old Bailey last autumn. She was cleared of a single count of child cruelty. The family had been living in a house with “rubbish all over the floor and human excrement”, the trial heard. A fire investigation report concluded the blaze had been started by either a discarded cigarette or upturned tealight and spread due to the rubbish on the floor.
