Birmingham - The families of three teenage boys burned to death when they were trapped in a blazing garden shed were last night "shell-shocked" by their loss. A 17-year-old and two 14-year-olds were sleeping in the hut, which they had converted into a den, when the fire broke out late last night.
The tragedy was thought to have been caused by a candle setting fire to bedding in the wooden shed in Chingford Road, Kingstanding, Birmingham.
Post-mortem examinations are expected to be carried out today.
