Police have launched a domestic-related murder investigation after three people died in a house fire in Lincolnshire that two women managed to escape from. One jumped from a window at the back of the house while firefighters tackled the fire, according to locals, while another was rescued by neighbours. Emergency services arrived at the house in Kirton, near Boston, at around 3am on 1 January. Neighbours came to the aid of those trapped inside the detached house when they saw flames shooting through the roof. Lincolnshire police appealed for witnesses and for anyone with information about the occupants of the house to contact them.
