Parents pay tribute to three children killed in house fire
The parents of three children who died in an east London house fire have said they will be “missed beyond measure”.
The children have been named as 13-year-old boy Nakash Malik, 11-year-old girl Aayat Malik and seven-year-old boy Muhammad Hanan Malik.
They died after a fire broke out at their family’s home in Napier Road, East Ham, just after 8.32am on July 13.
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.”
Officers from the Metropolitan Police are continuing to investigate the cause of the fire alongside London Fire Brigade colleagues.
The force said at this stage there is no evidence to indicate any suspicious circumstances.
Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters were called to the blaze, which damaged the ground floor and half of the first floor of the terraced house.
