Father says Sutton blaze that killed four sons 'every parent's worst nightmare' as mother sentenced The father of four sons who died in a house fire after they had been abandoned by their mother told the Old Bailey it is “every parent’s worst nightmare”.
Mr Hoath said he had come close to jumping off a bridge “many times” in the days after losing his sons, and added: “I have tried to be some sort of normal for my own family now.
It was every parent’s worst nightmare”, said Mr Hoath, in a statement read by a relative.
Deveca Rose, 30, is due to be sentenced for four counts of manslaughter after the deaths of her sons on the evening of December 16 2021.
A fire broke out and the boys were trapped inside, dying from smoke inhalation as they desperately hid under their beds upstairs.
