THE mother of two boys who died following a fire started by their own father was personally selected by the Duchess of Cornwall to attend a reception at Clarence House about domestic abuse.
Jack and Paul Sykes, aged 12 and nine, died following the fire at the former family home on Tennyson Close in Penistone in October 2014.
They were lured to the attic by their father Darren Sykes as pools of petrol burned below. He also perished.
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."
