Martin Clayton poured petrol around the living room of the property before setting it ablaze, endangering nearby residents and emergency responders. On the early morning of December 16, 2024, neighbors on Caddy Lane were jolted awake by the blast’s thunderous noise and promptly alerted emergency services.
