An 18-year-old man and two 17-year-old males, who are all from Bodmin, in Cornwall, are being held in custody awaiting interview.

Mother-of-nine Mary Fox, 59, was trapped in her bedroom after reportedly pushing her 17-year-old son Raum to safety through an upstairs window after the fire broke out at around 7.15pm last Thursday.

The remnants of a firework were found behind the front door of Mrs Fox's house in Carpenter Court, Wallace Road, in Bodmin.
