Two big incidents in one day
First Incident was around 1130am on Monday 23 May 2011. Jamie was alone at her home in Aviemore Crescent when she heard some heavy banging at the front door. As she approached to answer it the door burst open with 2 men standing outside. The would be burglars realised the house was not empty and immediately fled off in a grey car.
Later the same day there was a house fire a few doors away from Christopher's house in Thacker Drive, Lichfield. Chris and another neighbour attempted to save the occupant but were beaten back by the thick smoke. The female occupant died in the fire. Chris and the other neighbour were both treated at Good Hope Hospital for Smoke inhalation.
The dead woman's dog "Archie" is presently being cared for by Chris and Alison.
