Girl, 4, and two adults killed in devastating house fire as cops make arrest on suspicion of murder

Published on March 30, 2025 at 02:13 PM

A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of murder after three people – including a four-year-old girl – died in a house fire, police have said.

A woman, aged 30, and a man, 23, also died in the blaze in Rushton, Northamptonshire, on Friday night.

Police, fire and ambulance crews responded to reports of the blaze on Beswick Close, at around 10.30pm.

Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service are conducting an investigation into the cause of the fire.

Three police officers also required hospital assessment due to smoke inhalation.

A neighbour told the Northamptonshire Telegraph: “It’s absolutely shocking. My lad said it was on fire. There was a man who had tried to get in who was outside. It was just an inferno.

“There were ambulance, police and fire. I don’t know the people who live there but all we can do is hope and pray.”

The home previously served as Rushton Station and housed the station master, with a train line running behind the building.

In 2009 a group was formed named Friends of Glendon and Rushton station to restore the station – which had been granted Grade II listed status in 1981.

It was later converted for residential use.

Anyone with information is asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101 quoting incident reference 25000180391.
