A four-year-old boy died after a house fire in north Belfast early yesterday. The boy's mother remained seriously ill in hospital last night, and another 13-year-old son was in a critical condition. The boy who died was named as Shane Hughes.
A seven-year-old boy, who was also in the house, jumped to safety from an upstairs window from the house in Whitewell Road in Greencastle. He was taken to hospital and was discharged later.
