An arsonist set fire to his then partner's home after assaulting her by throwing a canvas at her head. He was intoxicated when he set two fires near the oven and another to material on the floor.
Lloyd Jenkins, 34, set fire to his ex girlfriend's flat in Milford Haven on October 17, 2022. The victim had already gone to a neighbour's house having been assaulted by the defendant. As a result of his actions, she and her children were left homeless.
A sentencing hearing at Swansea Crown Court on Monday heard the couple, who have a child together, had gone to a few bars in Milford Haven but an argument broke out when the victim accused Jenkins of dancing with other people.
