Schoolgirl, 15, and woman, 67, killed in devastating house fire as cops probe ‘unexplained' inferno
A 15-YEAR-OLD girl who died in a house fire with a 67-year-old woman has been named by police. Ann Eyre was killed in the horror blaze at a property in Bletchley, near Milton Keynes, at about 12.10pm on Friday. She died alongside a woman, 67, who has not been named. Both victims were tragically pronounced dead at the scene and cops have launched an investigation. A man called Gabriel, who lived next door, recalled hearing "loud screams". He told the BBC how another neighbour had shouted for someone to "break the door". Fire crews responded to calls and arrived at the scene, on St Patrick's Way, within 10 minutes. Gabriel said the tragedy was "unimaginable". "Earlier when it happened, I really wasn't myself. I was very, very, shocked," he added. The devastated neighbour also described the family affected as "easy-going, calm and lovely". A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with the loved ones of the victims of this tragic fire. "Although she has not been formally identified, we can confirm the girl who died was Ann Eyre, from Bletchley. "We'd ask people to respect her family's privacy at this incredibly difficult time." 1
