Parents demand answers over daughter's death in Pakistan - and disappearance of ... trends now
A grieving couple have been left desperately searching for answers after their daughter died suddenly on a trip to Pakistan with her two children, whose location is still unknown 18 months later.
Kelsey Devlin, 27, died in 2021 after flying to Islamabad with children Zara and Zain, after receiving news that her mother-in-law was dying.
But three weeks later she had died in hospital, leaving parents Judy and Sean Devlin, from Burnley, with no answers - and no idea what has happened to their two young grandchildren, 10 and eight.
Ms Devlin had already been buried by the time her parents found out she had died.
They eventually received a death certificate, but say it contains 'huge inconsistencies' and false medical information.

The couple now want to exhume her body and get their grandchildren returned to the UK.
Father Sean Devlin, 55, told the Mirror: 'I've lost my little girl and I don't even know where she is buried. That is barbaric. There are so many unanswered questions about how she died – we just want to bring her home.'
Kelsey flew to Pakistan on June 3, 2021, but was in hospital two days later.
Mother-of-ten Judy, 49, described how they were initially told Kelsey was ill with coronavirus, then sepsis, and that she was in a coma.
They were only able to speak to Kelsey once on a video call in which she described feeling as if her insides were 'burning'.
The family heard nothing further until July 1, when Kelsey's ex-partner, who had not accompanied his ex and children to visit his family, messaged sister Chloe and told her she had died during the night.
The only contact the family has had with their grandchildren since was a phone call
