This is the moment a gang launched a petrol bomb revenge attack, forcing a mother and daughter to escape through a bedroom window – leaving both with severe burns.
The footage has been shared as 10 men have now been convicted in connection with the arson attack on a home in Stoke-on-Trent following an 11-week trial.
Further CCTV captured the men earlier fighting in the street – with one armed with a machete and the other with a wheelie bin.
A 31-year-old woman and a 13-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were forced to jump from an upstairs window as their home was torched in the Bentilee district of Stoke-on-Trent on December 16 2021.
Emergency services were called after a group of men poured petrol inside the property and set it alight.
The mother, who was also hit on the head as well as being set on fire, suffered 65 per cent burns and was left in a coma for two months.
She survived, despite not being expected to, but was left with life changing injuries which require ongoing medical treatment.
Her teenage daughter suffered 15 per cent burns to her right arm and right leg.

Kashif Ahmed suffered a stab wound to his shoulder and went to hospital for treatment.
Subsequent CCTV footage caught Riyadh Iqbal on camera talking to a shopkeeper in a phone shop, saying: ‘One of the boys got stabbed up, man.’
He adds: ‘The guy come from behind stabbed him in his back.
‘It was Kashif, some geezer came up from behind and stabbed him in his back, he didn’t even realise.
‘When he was fighting he was on the phone to us by accident and we didn’t know where he was.
‘The geezer don’t know we’ve planned a rumble outside his yard now, innit.’
Uddin is then seen on CCTV buying petrol from a garage ahead of the arson attack.
At 10.55pm the same day, a number of men went to the house on Beverley Drive, demanding to speak to Naveed Hussain.

The men smashed the downstairs windows and poured petrol in the hallway near to the front door and outside near the living room window.
To escape, the woman and the girl inside smashed the upstairs bedroom window and jumped out.
The mother suffered a broken pelvis, broken ribs and a lacerated liver in the fall and had to learn to walk again.
Staffordshire Police said the case had required extensive work to piece together CCTV, digital evidence and specialist material to bring each defendant to justice.
Detective Constable Howard Davies, of the force’s major investigations department, said: ‘This was a very detailed and thorough investigation.
‘We left no stone unturned to examine the circumstances of this case.
‘This was a horrific ordeal for a mother to be set on fire in her own home in front of her daughter by a number of men seeking revenge.
‘Our investigation reflects the sustained commitment of officers and partners to securing justice for the victims and ensuring those involved are held fully accountable.’
Assistant Chief Fire Officer Michelle Hickmott, from Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: ‘Following a thorough investigation working alongside our police colleagues, we are extremely pleased with the outcome of this case.
‘Our investigation teams use their extensive skills and knowledge to identify when a fire has been started deliberately and then assist the investigation further to bring arsonists to justice.
‘We are continually proud of the way our fire investigation colleagues work in collaboration with police to achieve these results.’
The men have all been remanded in custody and are due to be sentenced at a date, time and court yet to be fixed.
