"Diane Jones, 21, and her daughters Shauna, two, and Sarah-Jane, one, were killed when a blaze engulfed their home in Wales after petrol was poured through their letterbox. Two women were found guilty of arson at the property on the Gurnos Estate, Merthyr Tydfil, in 1997 but later had their convictions quashed. Three decades on, the murders remain unsolved. But South Wales Police hope advances in forensic technology could provide a long-awaited breakthrough in the case."
"Ms Jones' sister Mary Jones has described how her life was shattered into a million pieces after the tragedy and said her father, John, took his own life in 2003 after struggling with the loss of his daughter and granddaughters. Diane's mother Myra has also died without getting to see justice. Mary Jones said: It has been 30 years but as a family we are still living this nightmare as if it only happened yesterday."
On October 11, 1995, Diane Jones, 21, and her daughters Shauna, two, and Sarah-Jane, one, were found dead after petrol was poured through their letterbox and a blaze engulfed their three-bedroom end-of-terrace house on the Gurnos Estate in Merthyr Tydfil. Two women were convicted of arson at the property in 1997 but later had their convictions quashed. The murders remain unsolved three decades later. Family members endured profound loss: Diane's father John took his own life in 2003 and her mother Myra died without justice. South Wales Police are re-examining the case using advances in forensic technology to seek a breakthrough.
