Man admits setting his house on fire after domestic argument

A man who set fire to his own home after an argument with his wife was today condemned to a suspended jail term of two years and fined €5,000.

Anthony Cilia, of Siggiewi, admitted in court that he started smashing up things at his home following an argument with his wife in the evening of May 16, 2008.

He then splashed flammable liquid on various parts of the house and set a sofa on fire. Fortunately the flames did not spread.

The man also admitted having assaulted his son and smashed showcases which belonged to his son.

Dr Emanuel Mallia was defence counsel.
