ROSS ELLERAY FROM FISTHOFT SENTENCED TO 4.5 YEARS FOR FIRE IN CHILD'S BEDROOM IN LINCOLNSHIRE

In a case that has shocked the community of Fishtoft, Lincolnshire, Ross Elleray, aged 28, has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison for deliberately setting a fire in a child's bedroom. The incident is part of a disturbing pattern of domestic violence that persisted over a period of seven months, during which Elleray's actions inflicted significant emotional and physical distress on his victims.

The sequence of events unfolded when Elleray, in a moment of malicious intent, took a piece of toilet paper and ignited it. He then threw the flaming material into the child's bedroom, causing a fire that could have resulted in tragic consequences. Prior to this act, Elleray had also thrown a liquid at the victim, which his then-partner believed to be white spirit, a highly flammable substance. This act of arson was not an isolated incident but part of a prolonged campaign of domestic abuse that deeply affected the family involved.

The court heard how the pattern of violence and intimidation lasted for seven months, during which the victims endured ongoing fear and emotional turmoil. The case underscores the serious issue of domestic violence in the region and the devastating impact it has on individuals and families. Elleray's sentencing reflects the severity of his actions and the broader societal concern over such destructive behavior within domestic settings.
