convicted of the murder of

attend her children’s funeral,
but she recorded a video
message and released
balloons in their memory in
the hospital grounds.
Leon Parkes, of Greater
Manchester Fire Service,
said: “We are all incredibly
upset to learn of Michelle’s
passing... I would like to
extend our condolences to
her friends and family, and
to those in the community
in Walkden who have been
affected in what must be a
tremendously difficult time.”
A police spokesman said the force
would be “liaising with the CPS” with
regards to potential charges.
