Javed Qureshi, aged 30, of Ellesmere Road in Shrewsbury appeared at Stafford Crown Court yesterday (Wednesday 5 June) where he was sentenced for attempted murder.
The court heard how on October 31, 2023 officers responded to a call from a member of the public after they were approached by women with serious injuries to her head and arm in Shrewsbury.
When officers arrived at the scene they quickly located Qureshi at his home address nearby, where he had started a fire causing extensive damage to his home, and endangering the lives of other people in the neighbouring properties.
