Well the article states that the pilot was the sole occupant of the plane.

If the house caught fire its very possible the 4 inside who died were burned beyond recognition. Formally identifying bodies then becomes difficult, sensitive and sometimes requires dna or dental record checks to save families the trauma of seeing the body to identify it.

Its pretty normal in the uk to wait 24 hours before names are released as obviously family must all be informed first, and formal identification must also take place first.
