A mother was said to be "inconsolable" over the death of her nine-year-old son after a fire at their home in Ayrshire.
Sheree McGill, 34, escaped from the house in Kilmarnock then tried to get back in to rescue Evan and her other children but was held back by neighbours, according to her sister.
Her two younger daughters Yasmin, four, and Nya, three, were rescued by firefighters and taken to hospital.
Fire crews were called to the house in Altonhill Avenue at 03:20.
They rescued the three children on the upper floor after fighting through "intense heat and thick acrid smoke" to reach them.
The children were taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock, where the boy died.
