What we know so far about the fire that killed three people
Fire investigators are still combing through what remains of a converted railway station building, days since the blaze that killed three people inside. Here is what we know so far about the fire at the Grade II listed property in Rushton, Northamptonshire. The three victims of the fire have been named as Mayci Fox, four, her mother Emma Conn, 30, and Louie Thorn, 23. Mayci Fox and Emma Conn were from Desborough, while Louie Thorn was from Rushton. Mayci was described by her father as a "free-spirited, fearless and loving little girl", while Ms Conn's family remembered her as "the most incredible, wonderful mum". She owned The Lash Lounge and Beauty salon in Desborough. Mr Thorn's father Lee said his son "will always be the angel on my shoulder". He added that their shared passion for football had led to him to buying two football clubs. The BBC understands Lee Thorn was a director of both Kettering Town and Nuneaton Borough. A date has yet to be set for the opening of the inquests into the deaths. An investigation into how the blaze may have started is under way. The fire happened at about 22:30 GMT on Friday. The property was previously the Glendon and Rushton railway station before it was converted for residential use. Specialist fire investigators and investigation dogs are still at the scene. A 54-year-old man from Kettering was arrested on suspicion of murder but was released with no further action, police said. The police have since said they do "not believe there is any evidence of criminal wrongdoing". One villager told the BBC they had been "traumatised" by the incident. Kevin Abraham, a churchwarden of All Saints' Rushton in the parish, said the close-knit community had been "knocked for six" by the blaze. "It's probably one of the worst things in living memory that has happened," he added. Mike Brightman, vice chairman of Rushton Parish Council, said it had been a "very sad day for the village, losing some of our residents in such a horrific way". The MP for Kettering, Rosie Wrighting, said she was "saddened by this tragic fire" and said her thoughts were with the "family and friends of those involved and everyone in the Rushton community". Mourners have left flowers, cards, and tributes near the house behind a cordon. One message to the 23-year-old victim called him a "sweet, beautiful boy" and "the biggest shining star".
