Police were called to a house in North Street at 4.04am on Sunday 21 June, following reports of a fire.

A man, woman and female child died following the fire, which badly damaged the house and a car parked outside.

Derbyshire Police say they are working with firefighters to determine the cause of the fire and whether it was accidental.
