In the early hours of 10^th July, 2018, Gina Ingles, her partner and her 4 year old son Bailey were asleep at home in Croxden Way, Eastbourne. But just before 1am, a fire broke out at the house. Gina’s partner managed to jump to safety from a first floor window. Tragically, Gina and Milo died in the fire.

On the programme, live at 9.15am on BBC One, detectives will appeal for information to help them catch those responsible.
