A murder investigation is launched into the deaths of a 77-year-old man and his 83-year-old partner.

People living in two tower blocks in Kirkby have been to vacate their homes in a matter of weeks.

Twenty-seven people were taken to hospital, and two suffered serious injuries.

Ten children, aged between 12 and 13, were inside the derelict building when the fire started.

The latest fire at Rimrose Valley Country Park in Sefton is thought to be the ninth within a month.

Layla Allen was described as a "shining light" in the lives of those who knew her.

A teddy bear and flowers are among tributes left outside the scene of the fire.

Police and firefighters say two adults and five children survived the fire.
