Two men who launched a 'horrific' arson attack on a family home which was caught on CCTV and left a 26-year-old man dead have been convicted of murder.
A three-week trial was told Daniel Tatters was filmed by a security camera as he smashed and removed a bay window at the home of Akashdeep Singh, before using a flammable liquid to engulf the living room in flames.
Mr Singh died in hospital hours later after being trapped upstairs by the blaze at his home in Plascom Road, East Park, Wolverhampton, which the court heard may have been targeted by mistake.
Tatters and Dale Francis, who acted as a driver and look-out at the scene, were both unanimously convicted of murder, arson with intent to endanger life and attempted murder today after jurors deliberated for more than nine hours.
CCTV played to the trial showed Tatters approaching the house carrying a container and hammering out the window before running away as a fireball, which also left Mr Singhs mother with life-changing injuries, filled the lounge.
