Mum’s six-figure settlement after children die in St Neots fire

About 40 firefighters tackled the blaze, at the home in Buttercup Avenue in Eynesbury.

At the time, crews described how they were told the children were still in the burning house when they arrived and they tried to get them out.

Ms Horton, who was 34 years old, had life-changing injuries as the result of her jump, while her partner received minor injuries.

An investigation into the fire concluded the most probable cause was an electrical fault in a first-floor bedroom.

The law firm’s Ms Morris said the inquest heard from fire investigators that a TV’s screen frame was found in the debris at the seat of the fire, as first reported by the Daily Mail, external.

The inquest heard that, on the balance of probabilities, the fire started in a first floor bedroom in an electronic device at the foot of Isaac’s bed, and it was believed to have been the television.
