A drunken cocaine-fuelled thug’s homemade petrol bomb exploded mid-air as he tried to take “revenge” against a nightspot that wouldn’t let him in.
Convicted heroin supplier John Kirk, 34, launched the attack at Chambers bar on High Street in Runcorn in the early hours of Sunday, March 6, after being barred entry to Chambers and Alchemy on the same street earlier that night.
Laura Knightly, prosecuting at Chester Crown Court on Monday, said door staff at Alchemy bar had turned Kirk away at 10.30pm on Saturday, March 5 because the head doorman for both Alchemy and Chambers had seen him arguing with door staff outside The Royal pub earlier that evening.
