Deveca Rose, 29, is charged with the manslaughter of her three-year-old twin sons, Leyton and Logan Hoath, and Kyson and Bryson Hoath, also twins aged four.
Two sets of twin boys - who died in a house fire - were left home alone surrounded by rubbish and human waste after their mother went shopping, a court has heard. Deveca Rose, 29, is on trial at the Old Bailey for the manslaughter of twins, Leyton and Logan Hoath, aged three, and Kyson and Bryson Hoath, aged four. Ms Rose, who is also accused of child cruelty, denies all the charges against her.
Boys absent from school After inappropriate behaviour was raised at school, a social worker visited in July 2021 and noticed rubbish in the house, a 'very strong, unpleasant smell' and was worried that Ms Rose had not taken care of herself. The prosecution said Ms Rose did not engage in further planned home visits and the case was closed in September 2021, although children had not attended school for three weeks before the fire. The Old Bailey heard that at about 6.
