'I was wrongly accused of murder and jailed and my life and family were destroyed'

It was 27 years ago, in October 1995, a young mother and her two young daughters died in an horrific arson attack that shocked the nation.

Diane Jones, 21, and her daughters Shauna, two, and Sarah Jane, 13 months, lost their lives when someone ignited a fire with petrol at their home on the Gurnos housing estate in Merthyr Tydfil. Their families recently marked the anniversary with an emotional vigil.
