A tragic house fire in Rusholme, Manchester, on March 2, 2025, has led to a mother facing serious charges. Carrin Wibier, 45, has been accused of murder and arson with intent to endanger life following the incident. Her four-year-old daughter, Lesma-Rose Wibier, succumbed to injuries sustained in the blaze.
Wibier appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court via videolink from custody, where she confirmed her personal details. The District Judge informed her that the charges were indictable-only, meaning they must be heard at the crown court.

Family members have paid tribute to Lesma-Rose, describing her as the "star of the family" and the "most beautiful girl inside and out."
