On 8 December 2011, just days after being sacked from Leicestershire Police, former police inspector Toby Day killed his wife Samantha and six-year-old daughter Genevieve before taking his own life. Their two older children Adam and Kimberley managed to survive his attack.
This is the story of The Day Family.
