Story here. Excerpt:

'The mother of two young brothers who died at a house fire in Eastbourne was arrested today on suspicion of manslaughter and child neglect.
...
Neighbours said that they had become trapped in the house after their mother, Denise Goldsmith, 29, ran to get help and accidentally locked the door behind her.
...
The cause of the fire, which led to the deaths is part of an ongoing investigation of this tragic incident, but at this stage it is not being treated as arson.'

Setting children on fire becomes a common treatment of kids by their mothers:

A woman who set her three young daughters on fire, killing one of them, has been sentenced to life in prison without a chance of parole in a plea deal that spared her the possibility of the death penalty.

She admitted setting the fire because she was angry at her husband, the girls' father.

Green coaxed her daughters into a closet by saying they were playing a game, poured gasoline on them and threw a burning shirt on them, according to documents filed in the case. She then summoned neighbors who pulled the screaming girls from the house, witnesses said.
