    Tributes paid to mother and children who died in Bradford house fire | UK news

    August 21, 20243 Mins Read


    Tributes have been paid to a woman and her three young children who died after a suspected arson attack on their home in Bradford.

    Bryonie Gawith, 29, died along with her two daughters – one-year-old Aubree and nine-year-old Denisty-mai – and her five-year-old son, Oscar, in the blaze in the early hours of Wednesday.

    A 39-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and taken to hospital. He remains in hospital with serious injuries caused by the fire, police said.

    Neighbours described how the residential street lit up “like a thunderstorm” as the blaze tore through the three-bedroom semi in the Queensbury area of Bradford.

    Lindsay Pearson, 56, said her daughter had heard shouting coming from the direction of the property at about 1.45am, shortly before they smelt “intense” plumes of smoke.

    They looked out of the window and saw “a big flame – like the sky was all lit up”. She added: “It was like thunder and lightning, like you see in a thunderstorm.”

    Pearson said she rushed out into the street with her son-in-law to help, when the emergency services told her it was a house fire and that people were inside.

    The carer said they had seen Oscar playing on his scooter only days ago and that her son-in-law would often say hello to the family: “It’s awful. It’s a very tight area around here. Everyone’s upset.”

    Floral tributes have been left at one end of the police cordon, including one reading: “Have fun in heaven. We will miss you.”

    Another said: “RIP to my beautiful auntie and baby cousins. I love you all, all this world and more. I will forever miss you my beautiful angels.”

    A third bouquet read: “I can’t put into words how heartbroken I am! My best friend, my sister! I will never forget how much love, laughter, happiness you brought to my life. My three beautiful babies will never forget you.”

    Police were called in the early hours of Wednesday morning by the fire service, who had attended the blaze in a property in Westbury Road.

    Detectives from West Yorkshire police said initial inquiries suggested the fire had been started deliberately and that it was “domestic-related”.

    Gawith died at the scene while her three children were taken to hospital, where they died of their injuries.

    Supt Lucy Leadbeater of West Yorkshire police said: “This is an absolutely devastating incident in which three children and a woman have lost their lives. Our thoughts remain with their family, friends and loved ones.

    “Early inquiries show that the fire was started deliberately, and we have arrested one man on suspicion of murder. He is seriously ill in hospital today as a result of injuries caused by the fire.

    “While our inquiries are at an early stage, we do at this time believe the incident is domestic related.

    “We are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident or who has CCTV or doorbell footage to come forward.”

    She added: “Specially trained officers are supporting the family, and we are working with local neighbourhood officers to carry out inquiries and provide reassurance in the area.”

    Anyone who witnessed anything suspicious is asked to contact police via 101 or use the live chat facility https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/LiveChat, quoting log 107 of 21 August.
