Husband’s tribute to blaze mum

A MAN whose wife and daughters died in a house fire called their deaths a “cruel crime against my family”.

Grieving Aboubacarr Drammeh, 40, paid tribute to Fatoumatta Hydara, 28, Fatimah, three and one-year-old Naeemah.

He said: “It is with great sadness that we have lost Fatoumatta and our two daughters in such a tragic way.

“Fatoumatta had lived a short but beautiful and fulfilling life. [She] was a happy, bubbly woman who wouldn’t have the heart to hurt a fly.

“It is inconceivable to think who might have committed this cruel crime against my family.

“I and my in-laws are left without any daughters, grandchildren and nieces. I will deeply miss my family.”

Fatoumatta died on Tuesday, two days after the fire at her flat in Clifton, Nottingham.

Police are questioning a man aged 31 but said it was not a hate crime.
