Teens In Court Over Fireworks Death
Three teenagers have been charged with manslaughter over the death of a mother-of-nine who died in a blaze at her home after a firework was pushed through her letter-box.
Mary Fox, 59, died when the fire broke out in her house in Wallace Road, Bodmin, Cornwall last Thursday evening.
She reportedly had helped her 17-year-son Raum to escape the blaze and he raised the alarm. However, Mrs Fox was unable to escape herself and firefighters found her body in an upstairs bedroom.
Ryan Croft, 18 and Samual Luckes, 17, both from Bodmin, and Owen Hewitt, 17, from Kestennen, appeared before Bodmin Magistrates' Court charged with manslaughter today (Thursday).
They were remanded in custody to appear before Truro Crown Court on November 20.
