Team who had found two separate seats of fire at the entrance to the
flat. Apparently the suspect had thrown a can of black paint over the
door and then set fire to it using an aerosol can and some paper. The
aerosol had then exploded causing the door to one of the flats to fly
off. The explosion also caused the communal door to fly off. The female
victim was behind the flat door at the time and managed to grab her
child and run from the premises. The male heard the explosion and on
opening his front door discovered the fire. He then ran out onto the
balcony and called the Fire Brigade.
