In his first interview since it happened, Det Sgt Nick Bailey told the BBC's Panorama: "Everything the kids owned, we lost all that, the cars, we lost everything."

"I was conscious throughout the whole time," he said. "I had lots of injections… I had five or six infusions at any one time in my arms. Physically, I felt quite numb after a while."

"I don't know," he said, "I could have adjusted my face mask and my goggles while I was in the house, with it being on my hand."
