Three teenagers arrested in woman's death

BODMIN, England, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Three British teenagers have been arrested for setting fire to a house with fireworks and killing a 59-year-old woman trapped in the home, authorities said.

The teenagers, from Bodmin, Cornwall, were arrested after investigators found references to the fire on the Internet site Facebook.

"Some of the information has come via Facebook - indeed it is unusual these days for Facebook not to feature in a case such as this," a police spokesman told The Times of London Online in a story published Monday.

The teenagers, two age 17 and one age 18, were accused of pushing a fire cracker through the front door mail slot of Mary Fox, 59, a mother of nine children who was trapped in her bedroom after reportedly pushing her 17-year-old son, Raum, through a window to safety.

The fire occurred Nov. 5 on Bonfire Night, a celebration also known as Guy Fawkes Night in which revelers mark the attempt by Guy Fawkes to destroy the Houses of Parliament in London in 1605.
