Parents appeal after arson death
8:55pm Wednesday 7th January 2009
A couple whose three-year-old daughter was murdered in an horrific arson attack have made a tearful plea for help to catch her killer.
Francesca Bimpson was treated in hospital for three weeks after being pulled from flames engulfing the bedroom of her Liverpool home.
But she died from extensive burns two days before Christmas. Her father Kieron Bimpson and mother Eleanor Skelhorne spoke of their devastation.
At a Merseyside Police press conference, Ms Skelhorne sobbed: "The safest place she should have been was her bed.
"The place where she should have felt most safe was her bed but she is not here.
"She has been burnt alive."
