A MUM made a desperate call for help before she and and her three young children were “murdered” in a house fire, an inquest heard.
Bryonie Gawith, 29, Denisty Birtle, nine, Oscar Birtle, five, and 22-month-old Aubree Birtle were all killed in the horror in Bradford.
Mohammed Shabir, 44, and Calum Sunderland, 25, have been charged with four counts of murder.
A third suspect arrested on suspicion of murder is “in a coma” in hospital and may never recover after being removed from the burning home.
Police previously confirmed the 39-year-old is Bryonie’s ex-partner and he was detained at the scene.
An inquest heard today how emergency crews were called at around 2.07am to report the family home being on fire.
Tragically, the mum was declared dead at the scene just 40 minutes later.
Senior Coroner Martin Fleming said post mortems had taken place but the family’s cause of death was not released.
He adjourned the inquest pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
The horror unfolded last Wednesday when flames engulfed the home in the early hours.
Police said they believe the home was deliberately set alight.
A 36-year-old man also arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder has been released on conditional bail.
Two other people – a 54-year-old woman and 42-year-old man – were held on suspicion of assisting an offender but were released on bail.
Specialist officers are supporting the family, including the children’s dad Jonathan.
In a moving tribute, he said he was “absolutely distraught at the sudden loss of my fiancée, Bryonie and our three beautiful children”.
Jonathan added: “Bryonie and I were together for a long time, and we had a good life together.
“She was a beautiful woman and a loving mother to Oscar, Aubree and Denisty.
“I loved them with all my heart and if I had the chance, I would take their place in a heartbeat. I cannot imagine life without them.
“They will never be forgotten and will always be in my heart.”
Shabir and Sunderland have been remanded into custody to appear for a plea hearing on September 25.
