Woman relives the night she witnessed Glasgow's Ice Cream War murders as a young girl

When Stella McGuire closes her eyes, she can see the bloodstains on the windowsill of the top-floor flat where an arson attack claimed the lives of six members of the same family, including an 18-month-old baby.
The deaths of the Doyle family in Glasgow’s infamous Ice Cream Wars and the sights and sounds of that night left an indelible mark on the then 12-year-old. Stella, who lived in a flat that faced the Doyles’ home, was woken from her sleep by the frantic shouts for help of the trapped family and she dialled 999.
Now, almost 40 years on, Stella is speaking publicly for the first time about what happened. She gives her harrowing recollection of events in a new two-part BBC Scotland documentary, The Ice Cream Wars, which tells the story of the vicious gang war which tore through Glasgow’s tough housing estates in the early 80s, an infamous miscarriage of justice and a crime which remains unsolved.
Stella, who is still traumatised by the deaths in April 1984, said: “I awakened to shouts of help. I initially didn’t take much notice because it was quite common for families to argue. But the ‘help’ came a lot stronger, a lot louder, more frantic. Then it was more than one person. I opened the window and I shouted, ‘What’s wrong?’ and they shouted ‘Fire. Fire.’”
Stella grew up in a third-floor flat on Milncroft Road, Ruchazie, which looked directly into the bedrooms of the Doyle family’s third-floor flat on Backend Street. After calling 999, she woke her younger sister.
Choking back tears at the memory, she said: “Probably now I regret waking her up, to see what she saw, but I didn’t know. I think I felt afraid at the time. Both me and my sister were kind of shell-shocked. And helpless.
“I saw the window (of the Doyle home)
