A boyfriend shouted ‘no one else will have you‘ before killing his girlfriend, another man and himself in a New Year’s Day house fire, it was claimed today.

Police are said to believe the two victims may have been stabbed – and their chief suspect also died in the blaze at the £350,000 property in Kirton, Lincolnshire.

Billy Hicks, 24, has been named today by former colleagues as one of the three killed in the New Year’s Day blaze, as reported by The Sun

Detectives were thought to be investigating the theory that a love triangle could have triggered the bloodshed before the blaze took hold from about 3am.

The home was owned by former pub chef Paul Edmunds and his wife Donna, both 54. They are said to have moved to Ilfracombe in Devon last year to run a hotel. 

But a source told the Daily Mail that police are investigating whether a suspect found dead in the house was involved in a love triangle with two other victims.

Lincolnshire Police confirmed a 27-year-old woman and two men aged 24 and 32 had died. They are yet to be formally identified and no arrests have been made.

One source named Fabio, 18, whose friend’s relative knew the woman victim, claimed the fire was started by a boyfriend ‘furious that he had been cheated on’
