Leicester Police say they are "confident" there is no evidence that the family killed in a fire in Wood Hill were involved in the incident on nearby Kent Street where a man was murdered.
However, Asst Chief Constable Roger Bannister says police are still investigating if there is any link between the two incidents.
The cause of the fire that killed a Beaumont Hospital consultant's family in a house in the Spinney Hills area of Leicester is being investigated.
Shehnila Taufiq, who was in her 40s, died along with her 19-year-old daughter and sons, aged 17 and 15.
The fire broke out at their home in Leicester in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The mother and her children, named by their local mosque as Zainab, Jamal and Bilal, died in their bedrooms.
Mrs Taufiq's husband, Mr Muhammad Taufiq Al Sattar, was yesterday believed to be on his way home from Ireland, where he works as a neurosurgeon.
Neighbours of the family reacted with disbelief to the idea that they could have been intentionally killed - and claimed they may not have been the intended target.
One theory emerging locally is that the family may have been the victims of mistaken identity and not the intended targets.
The husband and father of the victims Mr Al Sattar is a consultant neurosurgeon and has been working in Beaumont Hospital in Dublin and other private hospitals.
The family is originally from Pakistan and had a home in Ireland for at least 15 years. They were together about a month ago spending the festival of Ramadan in Ireland.
The children moved to the UK with their mother about five years ago for Islamic education but returned regularly to be with their father at his home in Castleknock.
Dr Ali Saleem, of the Islamic Cultural Centre in Dublin, said the family planned to reunite in Ireland after the children finished their education.
Police said the victim of the Kent Street murder has not yet been formally identified.
Three people were arrested yesterday in connection with the murder. Two 19-year-old women were arrested in the Leicestershire area and a man, also 19, was arrested in London.
