Mother started fatal fire to create ‘drama’

A MOTHER accused of killing two of her children in a house fire allegedly started the blaze because she wanted to create a “drama” after she found out her partner was cheating on her, a court heard.

Fiona Adams, 23, pleaded not guilty to the murder of Niamh, five, and two-year-old Cayden, who died in the blaze in Buxton, Derbyshire, in April 2010.

She escaped from the house by jumping from an upstairs window with her eight-month-old son, Kiernan, just before midnight on April 23.
