A neighbour has been accused of killing five members of the same family by deliberately starting a fire in a row over a pushchair.
Melanie Jane Smith, 43, denies murdering the two adults and three young children in the blaze at Prestatyn, Denbighshire, last October.
She set the fire deliberately because of a dispute over where a pushchair was left, Mold Crown Court heard.
She was said to be jealous of Lee-Anna Shiers, who lived in the flat above.
Ms Shiers, 20, her nephew Bailey, four, and niece Skye, two, died at the scene. Her 15-month-old son Charlie and partner Liam Timbrell, 23, were rescued but died later in hospital.
The court heard how Ms Shiers' pushchair had annoyed Ms Smith.
The prosecution said the defendant had threatened to set Ms Smith's home on fire with her family inside.
The court was told a pushchair was left in the communal hallway next to the door of Ms Shiers' flat.
On the night of the 19 October last year, the pushchair was set on fire deliberately with a naked flame, the court heard.
Ms Smith also denied one count of making a threat to destroy or damage property by threatening to burn down a house in September.
The trial is continuing.
