Brothers douse Glasgow shop in petrol and set it on fire in botched insurance scam

Two brothers who torched their family shop in a failed insurance scam were jailed today for a total of four years.

Sahail and Kasim Ahmed were involved in setting fire to the premises in the Gallowgate - a crime branded "utterly idiotic" by prosecutors.
