A seven year old boy has died in a house fire in south London overnight.
Firefighters were called to an address in Deptford in the early hours of the morning. They managed to control the blaze a short time later, but the boy had already died.
It is understood that two women, who were also at the property managed to escape by jumping out of a window. The women are believed to be the boy’s mother and aunt.
The blaze is being treated as ‘suspicious’.
