37-year-old mother lost four of her five children in a petrol bomb attack almost two years ago.
Michelle Pearson suffered 75 percent burns after two heartless thugs threw petrol bombs in their house in Salford.
The attack, which took the lives of her children, 3-year-old Lia, 7-year-old Lacie, 8-year-old Brandon, and 15-year-old Demi, came after a small argument between the thugs and the children’s older brother, 16-year-old Kyle, who managed to escape the fire.
Their mother spent 20 months in the hospital trying to recover from her injuries but she passed away and went to see her four children in heaven.
The children’s grandmother, Sandra Lever, said in a statement: “Sadly last night after a hard 20 months of fighting our beautiful Michelle gained her wings and went to join her babies.”
The original criminal investigation saw Courtney Brierley, David Worral and Zak Bolland jailed for a total of 98 years.
Former chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal has called the thugs to be charged with the mother’s murder and also her children’s.
“Those convicted of the murder of her children now need to be charged with her murder. Time is no longer a bar to prosecution. Such a sad case,” he said.
Detective Superintendent Lewis Hughes also added: “Yesterday, we were made aware that Michelle Pearson, who was seriously injured in a house fire in Walkden in 2017, passed away.
“As the Senior Investigating Officer for the investigation into the fire, I know first-hand how devastating the death of her four children was for Michelle and the news of her passing is incredibly tragic.
“I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Michelle’s loved ones at this terrible time.
“We will ensure that they receive any support they need from the investigation team as they come to terms with their loss.”
