What you need to know:

  • Heavy rainfall on the night of the incident had soaked the doormat, preventing the matches from igniting. No fire developed, and authorities confirmed that no injuries were sustained and no property damage occurred
  •  Prosecutors stressed, however, that only environmental conditions prevented what could have been a fatal outcome for the sleeping family

A former Kenyan nurse has been given a suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to attempting to set fire to her neighbour’s home in Kent, England, following an escalating dispute.
