An inquest into the deaths of Michelle Pearson and her four children revealed they were terrified prior to a fatal petrol bomb attack on their home in Walkden. Relatives stated that Michelle had reported feeling unsafe and had sought help from authorities, but felt her concerns were not adequately addressed.
Zak Bolland and David Worrall were convicted of the murders, with the inquest examining whether there were missed opportunities to protect the family from the escalating violence that led to the tragedy.
