A Newcastle woman started a blaze at the Byker Wall estate resulting in 6ft flames coming from a top floor flat.
Aly Wainwright started a fire at a property in Dalton Crescent on April 20, last year, leading to a multiple firefighters being called to tackle the blaze. The 33-year-old pleaded guilty to arson on the day of her trial at Durham Crown Court on September 29, last year.
Wainwright appeared back at the court via link from HMP Low Newton on Wednesday where her sentencing was adjourned so that a psychiatric report could be submitted. Judge Ray Singh said: "It seems there's a report that's missing that may well be very crucial in ultimately determining the sentencing of this offence."
