Boy arrested over blaze deaths

Police investigating a fire which left two children dead have arrested an 11-year-old boy.

The boy has been bailed by police, who are treating the cause of the fire as suspicious.

One line of inquiry is that fireworks may have caused the blaze at a leisure centre in Colwyn Bay, North Wales. The bodies of a boy aged 14 and a girl aged 13 were discovered by firefighters called to tackle the outbreak in a storage room at the Eirias Park complex.

The children, who are thought to have lived locally, were overcomeby dense smoke which filled the storage room.

Staff at the leisure centre are being interviewed about how the children gained access to the building in the first place. Police say establishing how they came to be there is central to their investigation.
