Two separate stories from the fifth episode of Netflix’s 2023 release, “Trial by Fire.” The last we saw of Shekhar and Neelam Krishnamoorthy was in a court of law, 18 months after the Uphaar cinema hall fire that claimed the lives of 59 people, including the teenage children of the couple. In “Trial by Fire” Spoilers Ahead Regrets Of The Past “Trial by Fire” Episode 5 begins on the morning of the Uphaar tragedy in 1997, as Hardeep (Anupam Kher), now a senior citizen, sits distractedly while the morning radio announces the release of J.P. Nair’s “Border” movie. At a card game with their friends, Hardeep doesn’t pay attention and loses, frustrating Mrs. Bedi (Ratna Pathak). On returning home, she asks what’s bothering him, and he offers her a newspaper with the “Border” poster. Upon being questioned on why he is acting weird, Hardeep finally announces that over the years, he has suffered from regret that he wasn’t at the 1971 Indo-Pak war. She visits her daughter in her office, where she’s greeted by Amrita who was a lot younger back then. At squash practice, Hardeep and his friend Khushwant are laughed at by some young boys.

Nottingham crown court was told Barrow, 31, poured petrol through the letterbox of Fatoumatta Hydara’s first-floor property in the early hours of 20 November last year, before setting it alight and staying while the blaze took hold. He denies three counts of murder. Hydara, 28, died two days after the incident.

He said: “He killed a woman called Fatoumatta Hydara, and he killed her two daughters Fatimah Drammeh and Naeemah Drammeh. The defendant killed them by setting fire to their flat in the early hours of the morning on 20 November last year.” Ash said Hydara and her two children were asleep in the flat when the fire was started. “He poured petrol through their letterbox and he set it alight.

He said: “Shortly after [the alarm], Mrs Hydara or one of the chi...
