A HEARTBROKEN family have paid tribute to the “most beautiful girl inside and out” who tragically died in a house fire.
Lesma-Rose Wibier, four, was killed in the blaze at a property in Gateshead Close, near Rusholme, at around 12.35pm on Sunday, March 2.
Her devastated family have now paid tribute to their “smart and intelligent” little girl.
“Lesma-Rose was the star of the family. Anyone who knew her knew she was the most beautiful girl inside and out,” a statement read.
“She always had a smile on her face and could put the same on others.
“She was such a smart and intelligent girl in her own unique ways, and she will be deeply missed by anyone who was blessed to meet her.”
It comes after cops arrested a 44-year-old woman known to the child on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.
She has now been rearrested on suspicion of murder.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed the woman has been detained under the Mental Health Act and is awaiting further assessment at this time.
Earlier this week Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley from GMP’s Major Incident Team, said no one else was being sought in connection with the investigation.
She said: “This awful incident has seen the tragic death of a young girl, and I would like to send my condolences to her friends and family.
“Numerous emergency services attended the scene and all did their utmost to save her.
“A woman has been arrested and I can confirm that she is known to the child.
“There is no wider threat to the community and no one else is currently being sought in connection with the investigation.
“These tragic incidents will of course naturally cause concern, but I want to reassure the public that we are fully investigating the circumstances of the fire, and will leave no stone unturned as we carry out this work.”
Ben Levy, GMFRS Area Manager, said at the time of the horror: “Today (Sunday, 2 March), crews from Gorton, Moss Side, Salford, and Withington Fire Stations attended a fire at a house on Gateshead Close, Manchester.
“I want to pass on the condolences of everyone at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service to the family and friends of the young girl who tragically lost her life following this incident.
“Our thoughts are with them during this sad and difficult time.
“We will work closely with Greater Manchester Police to support their investigation into this tragic incident.”
