Sheffield house fire kills three generations of one family

Three generations of a family, including a nine-week-old baby and two young children, have been killed in a house fire in Sheffield.

Twenty-fire fighters tackled the blaze shortly after midnight on Wake Road in Sharrow.

A relative, Ishfaq Kayani, has described the deaths as a "tragedy beyond imagination".

He said the victims were his 54-year-old cousin, her 20-year-old daughter, two boys - aged nine and seven - and a nine-week-old baby girl.
