Deveca Rose, 30, was sentenced after she left her four young sons alone at home while she went to the supermarket. The resulting house fire tragically claimed the lives of the twins, Leyton and Logan Hoath (aged three) and Kyson and Bryson Hoath (aged four) in December 2021. The court heard that the house was cluttered and lacked functioning smoke detectors. Rose's mental health issues and potential personality disorder were raised during the trial, but the prosecution emphasized these were not defenses against her manslaughter charges.
A 30-year-old mother, Deveca Rose, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the manslaughter of her four young sons. The tragedy occurred in December 2021 when a fire engulfed the family home in Sutton, south London . Rose left the children, Leyton and Logan Hoath (aged three) and Kyson and Bryson Hoath (aged four), alone to visit a supermarket. The prosecution alleged that the fire was ignited by a discarded cigarette or an overturned tea light candle in the cluttered house.
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were either malfunctioning or out of battery, and the front door was locked, hindering escape. The court heard that the children ran upstairs calling for help when the fire broke out. A neighbor attempted to force entry, but firefighters ultimately discovered the boys' bodies under beds. They were transported to hospitals but succumbed to smoke inhalation that night. Rose returned home during the fire and claimed she had left the children with a friend named Jade, a claim police refuted. During the trial, the prosecution detailed Rose's history of mental health issues and highlighted evidence suggesting she may have suffered from a personality disorder. However, they maintained that this was not a mitigating factor.
