Nora Ward torched the communal door of her housing block in Wythenshawe after a dispute with neighbours

This is the chilling moment a woman torched her block of flats - before calmly walking away. Nora Ward, 62, set fire to the communal entrance of her housing block in Wythenshawe after a 10-year dispute with neighbours came to a head in May this year.

Manchester Crown Court previously heard that residents in the block could smell smoke in the early hours of May 23, before noticing the communal door had been damaged in the morning. Following the blaze on May 23, which caused £1,500 of damage, Ward told police she couldn't remember what had happened as she'd been drinking.

At the previous court hearing, Judge Nicholas Dean KC said: "Starting a fire is arson and there was a risk to peoples’ wellbeing and they could have been harmed or killed, it’s a very serious offence. Your neighbours are fearful about the persistence of you doing this again. I hope that you won’t do it again."
