Police name siblings killed in suspected arson

A brother and sister who died after a suspected arson attack on their home have been named by police.

Saros Endris, eight, and his sister Leanor, six, were pulled from their burning house in Hamstead, Birmingham, at around 3.40am on Friday by neighbours, who tried to give first aid. The children were pronounced dead shortly after arrival at hospital.

Their father, a man in his 40s, remains in a critical condition in hospital after he was found in a burntout car 35 miles away from the house.
