She told the Record: "My ex was locked up last week for domestic abuse and carrying a weapon so this is a revenge attack."He’s connected to an East End crime family and this was ordered from behind bars."We know it was targeted and he's going after my family.

We're fearing for our lives because we don't know what lengths he will go to next to hurt us.“We don’t feel safe in our own home."The torched vehicle was a silver Skoda belonging to the woman's dad.Shocked locals raised the alarm after two 'loud bangs' were heard before the car exploded in the quiet residential street.The family were woken by their panicked neighbours at their front door before seeing the Skoda engulfed in flames.Firefighters battled to stop the inferno before it spread to other cars parked nearby.Pictures from the scene show the burnt out vehicle parked just metres from the front doors of family homes.
