Two drug dealers burned down a family home killing a mother and her four-year-old son over a £400 debt.
Gina Ingles, 34, died shielding her son Milo from the flames after Jacob Jake Barnard, 31, and his enforcer Andrew Milne, 42, poured petrol through the letterbox.
Fire investigators found Ms Ingles crouching over her deceased son, with the pair huddled under a windowsill in their burnt-out bedroom. A dog they were looking after for a friend was found dead next to them.
Ms Ingles partner Toby Jarrett spent months in hospital after jumping from a second floor window as the family attempted to escape the fire in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
