Arsonist faces jail after starting fire and 'locking himself inside' home

An arsonist is facing jail after a serious house fire in Nottingham. Abraham English was said to have started the blaze that required the attention of four fire trucks, police and paramedics in November last year.

Extreme damage was caused to the house English's ex-partner lived in with three of his children and one other child, with the majority of the household out on the day of the fire on November 17, Nottingham Crown Court heard. English, 34, had visited the house earlier in the day, reports NottinghamshireLive.

He was said not to be in a 'good place mentally' with his ex-partner recounting how he sat crying and covered the camera on his phone with Blu Tack, saying the phones were bugged.
