Two women and three children were unconscious when they were rescued from the flat
Two more people have been arrested in connection with the murder of a 19-month-old girl in a fire at a south London flat.
The toddler was one of five family members rescued on Saturday from the first-floor flat in Arnould Avenue in Camberwell but she later died.
A 19-year-old man and a woman aged 46 were held in west London, on Tuesday.
Police have been given further 24 hours to question a man aged 27, and woman, aged 28, arrested on Saturday night.
Carbon monoxide
All four remain in custody at a south London police station.
Two women, an 11-year-old girl, a four-year-old boy and the baby girl were unconscious when rescued by firefighters from the flat at about 0400 BST.
A murder inquiry had been launched following the death of the girl.
A post-mortem examination gave her cause of death as carbon monoxide poisoning from breathing in smoke.
The 11-year-old girl remains in hospital in a critical condition.
The four-year-old-boy and the two women, aged 23 and 45, remain in a serious but stable condition.
Acting Detective Chief Inspector Rick Murphy, from the Metropolitan Police, said: "This fire has wrecked the lives of those involved."
He added that he was "looking to the community" for help.
Emergency crews said the flat was completely destroyed in the blaze.
