A mum filmed herself and her son "openly celebrating" and "dancing" after setting fire to her ex-partner's boat, which he was living on.
Jackie Lloyd, 54, and her son Adam Lloyd chanted "the roof is on fire" after using a lighter to ignite a cushion on the barge, leading to a blaze that completely destroyed the vessel on Bridgewater Canal at Canal Reach in Runcorn. Just moments before starting the fire on September 7 last year, Jackie had called the boat's owner Peter Hill, her former boyfriend, and threatened to set it alight.
Mr Hill was out driving in Lancashire at the time of the incident. In shocking footage shown to Chester Crown Court on Tuesday, the drunken mother and son could be seen celebrating as the huge flames engulfed the boat, the Liverpool Echo reports.
