A man feared his partner could have been killed after returning home to find their front door "smoking".
A woman was in bed at her Halewood home in the early hours of December 10, when she claims that someone set fire to the Christmas bow decoration on her front door. When her partner returned from a night shift at work he feared the house was on fire with her inside, after seeing smoke coming from the front door.
She said: "My husband had the fright of his life when he came off a night shift to see that our door was smoking. He thought I was dead inside."
