Doncaster house fire kills family of four

[

A pregnant woman, her husband and their two young children died after a fire last weekend at their home in Doncaster. The tragedy came amid reports that police, who were first on the scene, prevented neighbours from attempting to enter the house to rescue them.

Mark and Michelle Colley, and  their three year old son Louis, died in the fire, while their five-year-old daughter Sophie, died in hospital three days later.

It is not thought that the cause of the fire is suspicious.
