Like many children excited at the thought of Christmas, Georgia Marshall couldn’t wait to help her parents deck out the house.
With the decorations stored in the attic, the 13-year-old followed her father upstairs and offered to hold on to a step ladder while he rummaged around for the tinsel and lights.
But all the joy of the run up to Christmas was about to turn to tragedy.
In a freak accident, Georgia – one of seven siblings – was electrocuted when a live cable fell down from the loft door and touched the ladder she was gripping.
Her older sister Amy, 29, said the family had been devastated by Georgia’s death.
She added: ‘My mum can barely speak. My dad is blaming himself, my two youngest siblings don’t want Christmas.’

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
