Detective Sergeant Danny Banks, from the Serious and Complex Investigations Unit, said: “The victims in this incident are prominent on social media and have suffered a hugely distressing ordeal, not least because they have lost their home but have also since suffered baseless allegations on social media that they are responsible for this incident. I am happy to state that they are not and remain supportive of our investigation.

“We ask that anyone with information relating to the incident calls police on 101 or tweets @MetCC quoting CAD 8350/14July. It is vital we hear from you.”
