Mother and three children who died after house fire named by police
A mother and three of her children who died after a fire at two houses in north-west London have been named by police. Nusrat Usman, 43, her 15-year-old daughter Maryam Mikaiel, 15, and two sons Musa Usman, eight, and Raees Usman, four, died at the scene of the blaze which gutted the two terraced homes in Tillett Close, Stonebridge, in the early hours of Saturday. Two other family members, a woman in her 70s and a 13-year-old girl, were taken to hospital. The woman has since been released, police said, but the girl remains in hospital in a critical condition. A 41-year-old man who was arrested outside the houses has since been bailed and was subsequently detained under the Mental Health Act, the Metropolitan Police said. Superintendent Steve Allen, from the Met's local policing team in north-west London, said: 'Our thoughts go out to all those impacted by what has happened. 'Specialist officers are continuing to support the wider family who have asked for privacy at this deeply upsetting time. 'Local officers are working closely with officers from the Specialist Crime Command on what continues to be a very complex investigation. 'I'd like to thank the members of public, our first responding officers and colleagues from other emergency services for their efforts during this highly pressurised and distressing incident. 'Equally, we appreciate this has affected the wider community who have been extremely supportive. You will see extra officers in the area during the coming days and some of the cordons will remain in place. 'We are grateful for your patience and understanding. If you have any concerns then please speak to them.' On Sunday morning, the road outside the terraced houses remained cordoned off, with two fire engines still at the scene. Bunches of flowers and a blue teddy bear were left near to the homes and crews wearing helmets and respiratory equipment were seen building scaffolding against the burnt out buildings.

Mother and three children who died in Brent fire named
A mother and her three children who died after a house fire that took place in north-west London in the early hours of Saturday morning have been named by police. Nusrat Usman, 43, her daughter Maryam Mikaiel, 15 and two sons Musa Usman, eight, and Raees Usman, four, died when the house in Stonebridge, Brent, went up in flames, the Metropolitan Police said. A 13-year-old girl, who has not been named, remains in hospital in critical condition while a woman in her 70s has been discharged. A man, 41, was arrested on suspicion of murder outside the property. He has since been bailed and detained under the Mental Health Act, the Met said. Officers were called to Tillett Close at around 01:20 BST on Saturday, attending alongside the London Fire Brigade (LFB). Two terraced three-storey homes were gutted in the fire. Eight fire engines and about 70 firefighters from stations across Wembley, Park Royal and Willesden were sent out to tackle the blaze. On Sunday, flowers and teddy bear tributes were seen laid near the properties. Supt Steve Allen, from the local policing team, said on Sunday that specialist officers were supporting the family. "Our thoughts go out to all those impacted by what has happened," he said. "Local officers are working closely with officers from the Specialist Crime Command on what continues to be a very complex investigation." Extra officers will also be deployed to the area in the coming days, he added. On Saturday, the LFB said they had received more than 20 calls reporting the fire. Assistant Commissioner Keeley Foster said: "This is an extremely tragic incident, and the thoughts of everyone across the Brigade are with those impacted by this incident. "Upon arrival, firefighters were met with a well-developed fire, involving two adjoining properties. Crews immediately set to work carrying out firefighting operations in order to bring the incident under control." Ms Foster added that the LFB's specialist Fire Investigation Unit would work with the Met to determine the cause of the fire.
