Four people have died in a house fire in Leicester.
Police and firefighters were called to Wood Hill, in the Spinney Hill area of the city, at about 00:35 BST.
Police said officers were "unable to rule out" the possibility the fire was linked to the murder of a man in Leicester city centre on Thursday.

I've just spoken to a man who lives next door to the scene of the fire and he is very upset.
The flames, he said, were so fierce they were licking the door of his car.
It's a row of terraced houses with bay front windows and I can see the top of the bay windows is completely blackened and melted.
There's no glass in it. All I can see is the blackened insides of what would have been a bedroom.
The fire caused extensive damage to the house and the four people were already dead when found in upstairs bedrooms.
A police spokesperson said: "The circumstances and cause of the fire are currently under investigation and officers would ask anyone who has any information regarding the incident to please contact them."
A murder investigation was launched on Thursday after a man in his twenties was assaulted in Kent Street at about 17:30 and later died in hospital.
Police said officers found "a large number of people in the street" when they were called to the scene of the attack. They are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the assault or saw any suspicious activity.
Leicester mayor Peter Soulsby said he had been briefed about the murder in Kent Street and described it as "a stabbing".
He said: "It's all the more surprising because both the stabbing and indeed the fire are actually quite unusual in Leicester."
Police said a post-mortem examination is due to take place to find out the cause of the man's death.
