A father and daughter who died in a house fire have been pictured for the first time.

Sohaib Ahmed, 38, and his nine-year-old daughter Manahal sadly died during a horror blaze on Sunday at their family home.

Mother Asifa was not at property in Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, when the blaze took hold on Sunday morning as she was on a pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca, in Saudi Arabia.

The couple's 11-year-old daughter, who was seriously injured in the fire, continues to be treated in hospital and is described as being in a critical but stable condition.

Their eldest son was also not at home when the tragedy occurred as he was sleeping at a relative's house.
