A horrific fire ripped through an East London block of flats this afternoon, killing one person. (Thursday, April 6). In a dramatic turn of events, police announced hours later that they had launched a murder investigation and made an arrest.
Witnesses described how they watched in horror as trapped residents at the Beckton flats were forced to jump from windows to escape the raging inferno. Neighbours were brave enough to place mattresses on the floor for them to try to land on. One resident who asked not to be named said that there had been some kind of party at the address and the girl has been killed as a result of the flames.
