A BARNSLEY woman who set fire to her own home - causing £80,000 of damage in the process - has been jailed.
Lindsey Marshall, 56, previously of Cemetery Road, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to an offence of arson, with recklessness as to whether life is endangered.
The fire was started on October 19, 2022, after Marshall started the blaze at her bungalow on Wensley Road, New Lodge.
It’s reported that she had dropped a lighter which then set some papers on the floor alight.
The fire caused £60,000 worth of damage to her own home, and £20,000 worth of damage to the property next door.
She was jailed for three years at Sheffield Crown Court on Monday.
