A normally quiet residential street in Harlow is woken in the middle of the night to screams for help. Doctor Abdul Shakoor jumps from the bedroom window of his Essex home as fire rages through the living room downstairs. His wife and five children are still inside.
What Adbul didn't know then is that he’ll be the only family member to survive and also that someone else may have been in the house.
