Fire tragedy in Bavaria claims four deaths: residents probably left the stove on

With the fire, all help came too late for the 20, 55 and 78 year old women.

The 20-year-old was seven months pregnant, said a police spokesman for the dpa.

The child had been delivered by an emergency caesarean section.

"But help came too late for the child too," he said.

The criminal police have started investigations into the cause of the fire.

According to the current status, the police and the Landshut public prosecutor's office assume negligence.

The police announced on Sunday that the stove was not switched off as a possible cause of the fire.

Public prosecutor requests arrest warrant - investigations into negligent homicide are ongoing

There are still further "investigations on the fire object", it says in the message.

The house is still not safe to enter, so you have to wait for appropriate security measures.

The public prosecutor's office had nevertheless applied for an arrest warrant against a resident, but the court did not issue it due to the lack of risk of flight.

The suspicion of negligent homicide and negligent arson are in the room.
