Pain, horror and heartbreak of tragic boys’ family as justice is done
Share:
The family of four young boys who died in a fire after being left alone by their mother has spoken of a three-year ordeal of “lies, delays and false narrative” over the tragedy. Twins Bryson, Kyson, Logan and Leyton, aged four and three, died in fear and suffering after their mother Deveca Rose left them in a locked terraced house that caught fire on the evening of December 16 2021.
After Rose, 30, was jailed for 10 years at the Old Bailey, the children’s paternal family said that justice had been done. Speaking outside court, step-grandmother Kerrie Hoath said the boys had been “cruelly taken away from us” by their mother. On Rose, she said: “The disregard she showed towards our boys has been echoed throughout this whole trial as our family had to endure three years of lies, delays and false narratives.
“This time has been a nightmare and the toll it’s taken on our family cannot be overstated. We have heard speculation the fire was caused by lights on a Christmas tree, false claims the boys were left with a babysitter. We thank the jury for seeing past that and delivering us a true verdict.
“Bryson, Kyson, Logan and Leyton were left alone by their mother Deveca Rose. She has been found to be responsible for their deaths.”. She said the boys were “beautiful, loving children” who did not deserve what happened, adding: “The impact they have made on us in their short lives cannot be measured and will never be forgotten.
