LONDON (Reuters) - Police have named two young boys who died in fire at their house in Eastbourne in southern England as Taylor and Lewis Jenkins, aged five and seven.

Sussex Police said the blaze, which broke out on Saturday afternoon, appeared to have been a tragic accident.

The boy were found dead inside the property in Milfoil Drive, Eastbourne.

Their mother was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries.

"The loss of anyone's life is tragic enough, but for us to lose such young children from our community is a tragic blow," said Chief Inspector Dick Coates.
