Claire Throssell's ex-husband Darren Sykes lured their sons to the attic then barricaded the doors and windows and set fire to the room
After luring his sons to the attic with sweets, toys and a train set, evil Darren Sykes then barricaded the doors and windows and set fire to the room.
Paul died as his brave big brother Jack held his hand and tried to rescue them. Horrifically burned, young Jack's final act of courage was to whisper to a firefighter: "My dad did this and he did it on purpose." Claire says: "The court ordered a Section 7 report into his fitness as a parent and the boys' welfare, but then allowed him to see them without supervision. He punished me in the only way he knew would crush me by killing our sons."
Referring to Sykes only as 'It,' she continues: "An hour after Paul died, police rang me to say It had died. They then asked if I would take charge of Its body. I said 'no way'."

"Jack used to ask me, 'Mum, what's over the rainbow?' and I would say, 'Whatever you want there to be, love'."
