OK. This woman claims she was attacked by two men in her home in Newcastle, who then tied her up with wire and set the house on fire. She was definitely tied up with wire, and so she only managed to dial 999 with her tongue. Her baby burnt to death. I'm sure many people will have heard this already, but I want to ask, why are they charging the poor woman with murder?

How could she have tied herself up? And why would she have left herself in the burning building as well? Ok, maybe a twisted suicide attempt, but then why did she dial 999?
