Summary

Over the years we have covered numerous cases which have prompted people to get in touch with us. This is probably the most emailed about case we have covered on Seeing Red.  We recently received a lovely email that was very personal and very emotional to read and in this the author suggested we re-release these episodes as currently the inquest is ongoing. We agreed and would love for you to either hear these episodes again or if you missed them the first time round, to listen now.  These re-releases are dedicated to anyone who has been affected by the Stardust night club fire including Ray who got in touch and asked us to cover this story originally and every listener who has been in touch to share their story too.
