Detectives investigating the death of a woman in a fire in Harlow are hoping a BBC Crimewatch reconstruction will provide a breakthrough.

An inquiry was launched after Kerry Youngs, 24, died two days after a blaze was started on the ground floor of a block of flats on 4 May.

She was living in the flat above with partner, Kevin Chappel, who is still critically ill in hospital.

The programme will be broadcast on Wednesday evening.

Police want to talk to two men in connection with the fire

About 30 people had to leave their homes after a petrol bomb was thrown into the building in the Bush Fair area of the town, police said.

Police issued an e-fit of two men they wish to question in connection with the attack.

An Essex Police spokesman said: "There are four or five really strong leads and this is a really close knit community and I'm convinced that someone has got that information.

"Now is the time that they need to come forward and let us know who is responsible for the fire."
