Annette Hewins stands in the dock accused of triple murder. The
prosecution claims Annette syphoned petrol from her car to commit
arson, tragically taking the lives of a mother and two children.
But what do we know about the type of petrol used in the fire,
and was it the same as the petrol Annette bought for her car?

At trial, an astonishing battle between two forensic scientists
commences in the courtroom, one for the prosecution and one for
the defence. They conduct very different tests, so which
scientist was correct? A world-leading arson investigator
re-examines the tests conducted by the forensic scientists. What
will he reveal, and what does this mean for Annette and her
co-defendants Donna Clarke and Denise Sullivan?
