Fund for fire victim's children

Firefighters tried to rescue Ms Dudley

Friends of a woman who died in a house fire say they have raised £4,000 for a trust fund for her children.

The trust has been established for the two children of Sarah Jane Dudley, 33, who died two weeks ago in Belper, Derbyshire.

Anthony Frost, 46, of Park Road in Belper, was charged with committing arson with intent to endanger life after the fire.

Fund organiser Rachel Hallam says she has been overwhelmed by the support.

A post-mortem examination showed Ms Dudley died from smoke inhalation.
