A woman and three children died in a house fire in southern Sweden, police said today.
Police spokesman Lars Nygren said a fourth child suffered life-threatening injuries in the blaze, which started at the family's house in Staffanstorp in the early hours.

He added that technicians would start investigating the cause of the blaze immediately.
