A 'beautiful' four-year-old girl who died in a house fire in Manchester has been pictured for the first time. 

Tributes are pouring in for little Lesma-Rose Wibier - who was described by grieving relatives as the 'star' of their family in a statement issued by police. 

It comes as a 44-year-old woman arrested over Sunday's tragedy is now facing a possible murder charge.

The woman, who was known to the little girl, was initially arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life. 

She is being assessed under the Mental Health Act, Greater Manchester Police added. 

Paying tribute to the young victim, her family said: 'Lesma-Rose was the star of the family. Anyone who knew her knew she was the most beautiful girl inside and out.

'She always had a smile on her face and could put the same on others. She was such a smart and intelligent girl in her own unique ways, and she will be deeply missed by anyone who was blessed to meet her.'

Greater Manchester Police said of the suspect: 'She was later rearrested on suspicion of murder. 

'She has been detained under the Mental Health Act and is awaiting further assessment at this time.'

Lesma-Rose died after fire broke out at a terraced property, in Gateshead Close, Rusholme Manchester, at around 12.35pm on Sunday.

They quickly extinguished the blaze and the girl, who had suffered serious injuries, was taken to hospital by paramedics.

But tragically she could not be saved and died of her injuries a short time later.

Evidence of smoke damage could be seen on upstairs windows of the red-brick house today.

Ben Levy, area manager for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, said on Sunday that crews from four stations attended the blaze.

'I want to pass on the condolences of everyone at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service to the family and friends of the young girl who tragically lost her life following this incident,' he said.

'Our thoughts are with them during this sad and difficult time.'

Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley, from Greater Manchester Police's Major Incident Team, said her officers would leave 'no stone unturned' as they investigate the circumstances of the blaze.

'This awful incident has seen the tragic death of a young girl,' DCI Whalley said.

'I would like to send my condolences to her friends and family. Numerous emergency services attended the scene and all did their utmost to save her.

'A woman has been arrested and she is known to the child. There is no wider threat to the community and no one else is currently being sought in connection with the investigation.

'These tragic incidents will of course naturally cause concern, but I want to reassure the public that we are fully investigating all circumstances of the fire, and will leave no stone unturned as we carry out this work.'

The senior officer also appealed for anyone with information to get in touch via 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers.
