A mother and son burned down her former lover’s canal barge in a “despicable” revenge attack, after she claimed he had cheated on her during their twenty years together.
Jackie Lloyd, 54, and her son Adam, 36, “danced and laughed” as they watched Peter Hill’s boat go up in flames in the Canal Reach area of Runcorn, Cheshire, from the bank of the Bridgewater Canal.
Mr Hill had been away visiting friends at the time and the pair, who had been drinking heavily, bragged in videos they recorded of the revenge attack.
