A Northern Ireland mum has spoken of her devastation after she watched her home being destroyed in a fire.
Nina McLaughlin, from Coleraine, left her home on Saturday night with her three children to visit her parents in Portstewart. Less than one hour later, she received a phone call from a neighbour to say her house was on fire .
Rushing back home, Nina was met with a scene of "sheer destruction" as four fire engines worked to put the fire out. She watched as her home of 16 years was being taken away from her.
