Two men have been given life sentences for murdering four children in a petrol-bomb attack at the home of their older brother, with whom they were feuding. Each was handed four life sentences, with Bolland told he would serve a minimum term of 40 years and Worrall serving a minimum of 37. The children’s mother, Michelle Pearson, 36, was seriously injured and has only recently recovered enough to be told of the death of her children. He had known Michelle Pearson since he was six, had been in her home and knew her children. Michelle Pearson is still in hospital and will be for some time to come.
