A man has been jailed for life after starting a fire that killed four siblings in Lancashire.

Four-year-old twins Holly and Ella Smith and brothers Jordan, two, and Reece, 19, died on 7 January 2012.

Dyson Allen, 19, of no fixed address, was convicted of manslaughter in July but jurors at Preston Crown Court cleared him of murder.

Allen was ordered to serve a minimum of nine years and three months for the fire in Lytham Road Freckleton.

He started the fire in a wardrobe in the children's bedroom of the dormer bungalow.
