An Ayr mum and her pregnant daughter were left trapped in a top floor flat after blaze thugs torched the front door in a murder bid.
Traumatised Elsa Hainey,44, and her 27-year-old daughter Gemma Wild — who is expecting twins — had to escape toxic smoke by sheltering on their balcony as flames crept up the main door.
Elsa has told how she woke up to the smell of smoke in the early hours of Saturday morning before noticing flames and intense heat coming from her front door on the fourth floor of flats in the town’s Russel Drive.
