she said 'I can't get out'': Grieving father reveals partner's last harrowing words before she was killed alongside their children in fire sparked by e-bike explosion By Frankie Elliott For Mailonline Published: 07:54, 12 June 2024 | Updated: 08:41, 12 June 2024 e-mail View comments A grieving father has revealed his partner's final harrowing words before she was killed alongside their two children in a fire sparked by an e-bike explosion. Scott Peden, 30, from Cambridge , lost his partner Gemma, 31, and their children Lilly, eight, and Oliver, four, during a blaze caused by an e-bike battery he had bought online. The family's two dogs also died in the fire, which left Scott in a coma for a month and with prolonged injuries.
Speaking to Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, Mr Peden heartbreakingly described how the mother-of-two told him she 'couldn't get out' of their property after it had become engulfed in flames. Recalling the tragic event, he told the ITV show: 'All I could see was this enormous red, yellow and orange flame. As I told Gemma to jump and throw the kids the last words I ever heard from her were "I can't get out".
' June marks one year since the fatal inferno and Mr Peden says his 'life has been ruined' because of it. Backed by the charity Electrical Safety First, he is now calling on all political parties to commit to introducing e-bike safety laws to prevent further tragedies.
