Thug accidentally set his own shirt alight after making six-metre long 'line of fire' leading to girlfriend's door - while her four children slept inside

A man created a six-metre long ‘line of fire’ outside his girlfriend’s house following an argument - whilst her four children slept inside.

Jake Cooper, 30, had been in a relationship with the woman for around two months when she suffered a miscarriage.

The loss led to a rift between them, which came to a head in July last year, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
