Firefighters found twin brothers Leyton and Logan Hoath3 and Kyson and Brison Hoath4 years old, unconscious in an upstairs bedroom.
An individual noticed the house on fire after 7pm and alerted a neighbor, who kicked in the front door to reach the children. PEOPLE reports that the fire probably started in the downstairs room because of a lit candle or signature.
According to BBCthe four children ran upstairs to ask for help but were unable to escape, which ultimately led to their deaths.
In a police statement, Deveca stated that he met a woman named Jade a few days before the incident, who was supposed to supervise his children.
On the night of the incident, Rose allegedly tried to call “Jade” in front of the police using a similar phone number to hers. However, Rose’s cellphone call data did not reveal any contact information for the woman named “Jade,” as PEOPLE explains.
CCTV footage obtained by police showed Deveca leaving the house alone the day before the incident.
Furthermore, authorities have not located Jade and there is no trace of a relationship between her and Deveca. The Times noted that five months before the fire, social workers determined the family needed assistance, but Deveca refused to participate.
