Three victims of a house fire at a converted railway station have been named as Mayci Fox, four, her mother Emma Conn, 30, and Louie Thorn, 23.

They died after a blaze at a Grade II-listed property in Rushton, near Kettering, Northamptonshire, at about 22:30 GMT on Friday.

A 54-year-old man from Kettering who was arrested on suspicion of murder at the weekend was released without charge.

Det Ch Insp Ruby Burrow, of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, said there was no evidence of “criminal wrongdoing”.

Mayci Fox and Emma Conn were from Desborough. Louie Thorn was from Rushton.

Formal identification has yet to take place, Northamptonshire Police said, but it was releasing the victims’ names with the agreement of the Coroner’s Office and the support of the families.

Officers are now trying to establish how the blaze may have started. Specialist fire investigators and investigation dogs are still at the scene.

Villagers told the BBC they had been “traumatised” by the incident and police said officers would be in the area to “provide reassurance”.

Drone pictures of the house show its roof has been severely damaged in the blaze.

It was previously the Glendon and Rushton railway station before it was converted for residential use.

It was granted Grade II listed status in 1981.
