Demolition work has begun in England on the house where six children died in a fire set by their parents.
The grandmother of the children has said they will be able to rest in peace now that their former home is being demolished.
Vera Duffy said she had wanted to see the start of the demolition process to end the tragic chapter in the family's history.
Mick and Mairead Philpott were jailed in April, along with friend Paul Mosley, after being convicted of killing the couple's six children in the petrol-fuelled blaze in Allenton, Derby.
Jade Philpott, ten, and her brothers John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, died in the blaze in May 2012.
Duwayne, 13, died days later in hospital.
The process of demolition is likely to take up to three weeks.
Both 18 Victory Road, the scene of the tragedy, and neighbouring property number 20 will be razed to the ground.
Mick Philpott was jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years after being convicted of six counts of manslaughter following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court earlier this year.
The trial heard that he used petrol to set fire to his home in an attempt to frame his mistress during a child custody battle.
His wife Mairead and Mosley were told they would each serve half of a 17-year sentence for their part in the plan to set fire to the property.
Workmen carrying out the demolition started the preliminary work of erecting scaffolding and carrying out safety inspections today ahead of the removal of the roof.
They said that over the next couple of days work would concentrate on taking the roof tiles, lats, felt, and rafters from the roofs of the houses as part of the first stages to steadily dismantle them.
Derby City Council said it would take one week to prepare the site and a further two weeks to take down both properties, beginning with the outbuildings and roofing structures.
New social housing is expected to be built on the site in due course.
