Three Sandiacre men have all been jailed for life for the murdering two teenagers and a baby in a fire.
Peter Eyre, 44, and his sons Anthony Eyre, 22, and Simon Eyre, 24, all from Central Avenue in Sandiacre, were found guilty at Nottingham Crown Court following a month-long trial.
On Friday all three were handed life sentences by a judge.
Peter Eyre was told he will serve a minimum of 32 years, Anthony is to serve a minimum of 23 years while Simon is to serve a minimum of 26 years.
Amy Smith, 17, her six-month-old daughter Ruby-Grace Gaunt and friend Edward Green, 17, died when the trio started a fire at the front door of the flat where Amy and her child lived in North Street, Langley Mill in the early hours of Sunday June 21 last year.
Amy’s partner Shaun Grant and his friend Joshua Holt managed to escape the fire.
It was a foolish revenge attack gone wrong
Detective Superintendent Kate Meynell said: “This investigation has always been about getting justice for Amy, Ruby-Grace, Edward and their families.
“What started as a dispute over a stolen moped very quickly escalated to the tragic events of that night in June; it was a foolish revenge attack gone horribly wrong.
“Amy’s partner Shaun had accused one of Peter Eyre’s sons of stealing his moped so Eyre and his older sons, Anthony and Simon, sought revenge against him.
“Nothing can bring Amy, Ed and Ruby-Grace back but I hope these guilty verdicts will bring some sort of closure for their loved ones.”
The court heard that the fire was started at the door of the building after the Eyres got into an argument with Mr Gaunt about a stolen moped which he alleged had been taken by one of Mr Gaunt’s sons.
Petrol was poured outside the front door, on the door itself and onto Edward’s car which was parked on the drive outside.
Once police and firefighters had established the blaze was deliberate, officers began checking local CCTV cameras and found footage of the Eyres driving to Langley Mill prior to the fatal fire.
The prosecution case was that Peter Eyre remained in the car while his sons set the fire.
