A mother, who was recovering from cancer treatment, was tragically killed after an old box plug sparked a devastating blaze which engulfed her home.
The fire, sparked by an old electrical outlet, tore through Wendy Verne-Cole's home in Barry, south Wales on April 18, 2024.
Brave emergency responders tried to perform CPR on the 68-year-old in her garden before she was rushed away in an ambulance.
Eventually, the mother-of-one, who had only recently had received a positive outcome following her cancer treatment, was taken to Morriston Hospital.
Here, her beloved daughter Sydney was told her doting mother had not survived the horrifying fire within mere minutes of her and her partner Jack arriving.
