Two men have been convicted of murdering a man and his two children in a fire at their home exactly two years ago.
A jury at the High Court in Glasgow found Scott Snowden and Robert Jennings guilty of the triple murder of 55-year-old Thomas Sharkey Snr, his son Thomas Jnr, 21, and eight year-old daughter Bridget.
Mr Sharkey’s children died in the blaze at their home in Scott Court, Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, on July 24 2011, while he died of his injuries in hospital six days later.
Snowden, 38, and Jennings, 50, were also convicted of attempting to murder Mr Sharkey’s wife, Angela, 48, who survived the fire.
The pair denied the charges during an 11-week trial.
