Three children who died after a house fire in East Ham have been named and pictured for the first time.

The fire broke out on the ground and first floor of a terraced house in Napier Road shortly before 8.30am on July 13.

Five people were taken to hospital for treatment and one child was found dead inside the property.

Two of the five have since died in hospital.

They have now been named as seven-year-old boy Muhammad Hanan Malik, 11-year-old girl Aayat Malik, and 13-year-old boy Nakash Malik.

In a statement paying tribute to the children, their parents Khurram Malik and Naumana Gul Khan said: "Your lives were a blessing, your memory a treasure.

"You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. May you rest in peace in God's heaven."

The cause of the blaze is still under investigation by the Metropolitan Police and London Fire Brigade. 

"At this stage, there is no evidence to indicate suspicious circumstances," a force spokesperson said.
