In a disturbing act of vengeance, an “obsessed” arsonist set fire to his ex-girlfriend’s stables, causing significant damage and leaving the victim in a state of fear and distress.
Paul Goodwin, hailing from Dover, orchestrated the arson at stables located off The Street in Worth, near Deal, on October 29 last year. Using petrol as his weapon, Goodwin ignited the blaze shortly after 5:30 pm, leading to a tumultuous scene as firefighters worked to contain the inferno.
