‘I deeply miss my wife and 3 children’

A neurosurgeon has spoken of his grief after his family was killed in a suspected arson attack as police continue to question five people over the fatal house fire.

Muhammad Taufiq Al Sattar said he would “deeply miss” his “beautiful” wife, daughter, and two teenage sons who died in a fire at their home in Wood Hill, Leicester, and called for justice to prevail.

Three women aged 19, 20, and 27, and two men aged 49 and 19 were arrested in connection with the fatal blaze, Leicestershire police said. The 19 year-old man was released without charge yesterday. Last night an 18-year-old man was arrested.
