The bodies of Bola Ejifunmilayo and daughter Fiyin were found the day after the fire A Northamptonshire woman has been charged with killing a mother and child who were found dead in a Milton Keynes flat after a fire.
Bola Ejifunmilayo, 29, and her three-year-old daughter Fiyin died in the multiple-occupancy house in Fishermead Boulevard on 5 September.
Their bodies were found a day later.
Barbara Zhanje, 48, of Rockingham Road, Corby, is due before Milton Keynes magistrates to face two charges of manslaughter.
The family said in a statement Mrs Ejifunmilayo was “affectionate with a joyful spirit” and Fiyin had been looking forward to starting school next week.
“Bola had a pure mind and was a loving mother,” the statement said.
“She had many friends within Milton Keynes, especially Fishermead, and was always willing to help others.”
Her family described her as a devoted Christian who attended the Redeemed Christian Church of God and was part of its choir.
