A man has been found guilty of murdering three members of a family in Cwmbran, south Wales, by setting fire to their home last year.

Carl Mills, 28, had warned his partner, 17-year-old Kayleigh Buckley, that he would burn down the house. She died along with her mother and her six-month-old daughter, who had just returned home from hospital.
