Simon Farrell set fire to the vehicle belonging to Ryan Jackson in Henfield. The fire caused damage to the moped as well as a car nearby, and melted guttering at Mr Jackson’s property. Hove Crown Court heard how Mr Jackson had allegedly laughed about Farrell’s mother dying from Covid-19. Farrell had taken drugs and in his rage set fire to the moped, causing damage to a family property in Hollands Road in the village. He admitted arson, and the court heard how he was clearly seen on CCTV. Meanwhile he was also recognised by a firefighter who he knew from sports.
