The wife and children of a Dublin-based doctor have been killed in a house fire in England.

The woman and three teenagers - aged 19, 17 and 15 - died when a blaze broke out at their terraced house in Leicester in the early hours of the morning.

It's been confirmed that the victims were the family of Muhammad Taufiq al-Sattar, a consultant neurosurgeon who works at a number of hospitals in Dublin.

Police in Leicester have opened a murder investigation, and are investigating whether the fire was a revenge attack for the earlier murder of a man in a street attack.
