WALTHAMSTOW: No progress in fire investigation
POLICE say they are no closer to solving an 'unexplained' death after a house fire.
A 27-year-old woman, who is yet to be formally identified, died on January 5 after a blaze at her home in Palmerston Road, Walthamstow.
A post mortem initially found she died of burns and smoke inhalation, but further tests proved inconclusive.
Police say they are looking at the possibility that the fire was started deliberately.
It is believed that the woman lived in the house with her husband, his brother, the brother's wife and the couples' children.
It is understood that no-one else was in the property when the blaze broke out, and no-one else was injured.
