A FIRE started deliberately at a house in Elsecar which killed two people has been referred for a domestic homicide review.
Katherine Collard, 55, and Erwin Albers, 62, died in the fire at their home on Cherry Tree Street in July, an inquest in Sheffield was told.
Det Sgt Liza-Jo Hope said the case had been referred for the review and said the emergency services were called after a neighbour saw Katherine at the back bedroom window crying for help as the fire took hold.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
