Man praised for his 'courage' dragging dying mum-of-ten from burning home in desperate bid to save her

A man has been praised for his courageous efforts to save a mum-of-ten who died in a house fire, an inquest heard yesterday (April 26). Kelly-Marie Watton was tragically pronounced dead at the scene of the house fire after being pulled from the flames by her partner who was unable to save her.

The blaze took place on Moor Lane in Holywell, Wales in the early hours of June 20, 2021. The 32-year-old was alone in the house when the fire started just after midnight, North Wales Live reported.

CCTV footage taken from a camera from across the road on the Holway estate showed how the living room light was switched on at 12:08am and switched off shortly afterwards. By 12:33am, the footage showed smoke inside the house with the fire visible by 12:40am.
