Sentencing of Prestatyn woman for five murders

A "drunk and jealous" woman will be sentenced today after a jury found her guilty of murdering five members of the same family in a house in Prestatyn. Melanie Smith, 43, deliberately set fire to a pushchair because she was angry it had been left in a shared hallway.

Lee-Anna Shiers, 20, her four-year-old nephew, Bailey, and two-year-old niece, Skye, died in the arson attack at their home on 19 October last year.

Ms Shiers' 15-month-old son Charlie and his father Liam Timbrell, 23, were rescued from the first-floor flat by firefighters, but died later in hospital.
