• Daniel Tatters was captured on CCTV smashing a bay window, pouring petrol into the home, and igniting it, while Dale Francis acted as the getaway driver and lookout.
• Both men were convicted of murder, arson with intent to endanger life, and attempted murder after a three-week trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
• Investigators linked the suspects to the crime through CCTV footage, phone records, an in-car tracking device, and DNA evidence found on a lighter at the scene.
• The family believes the attack, described as an act of 'pure evil,' may have been a case of mistaken identity, with no clear motive established.
