Jamie Barrow, 31, has been charged with the murders of Fatoumatta Hydara, 28, and her daughters Fatimah Drammeh, three, and Naeemah Drammeh, one, following a blaze at their home in Clifton, Nottinghamshire police have said.
A joint fire and police investigation concluded that last Sunday’s blaze in Fairisle Close, Clifton in Nottingham, was started deliberately.
Officers said Barrow, of Fairisle Close, would be kept in custody overnight to appear at Nottingham magistrates court on Friday.
Assistant Chief Constable Rob Griffin, of Nottinghamshire police, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family at this incredibly painful time, as well as the communities that have been affected by this most tragic of incidents. The grief this family has been put through is incomprehensible.
“Large teams of detectives have been working relentlessly alongside specialist search units and forensic experts to understand the full circumstances behind this deliberate fire.
“Following those inquiries, we have charged a suspect with three counts of murder. The family are aware of this development and I would like to sincerely thank them for their patience and understanding as we do everything we possibly can to gain justice for Fatoumatta, Fatimah and Naeemah.”
