The three young siblings killed in Saturday’s devastating Sanson house fire—Goldie, 1, August, 5, and Hugo, 7—have been publicly identified through a Givealittle page set up by friends of their mother.

Investigators have confirmed the deaths of their father and two of the children have been referred to the coroner.

At the time of writing over $163,000 had been raised through Givealittle.

Police and specialist teams are still working to recover the body of the third child from the destroyed Manawatū home, where the blaze broke out around 2.30pm.
