A 30-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder after a house fire in Hereford has been released on police bail while an investigation continues.
A man, 33, died at the scene of the blaze after suffering serious injuries, and a 56-year-old woman had to go to hospital due to smoke inhalation.
Flames broke out at about 19:00 BST on Thursday, on Charles Witts Avenue.
A nearby resident described the scene at the time as βcarnage".
Nicola Yarranton told ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Hereford and Worcester last week: βIt was horrible. I had my grandchildren here as well and they were crying."
Another resident, who did not wish to be named, described the woman in hospital as a βlovely and caring ladyβ.
She said the events had been "heartbreaking" and "distressing".
