A jilted
boyfriend who hired a hitman to burn down the home of a girl in revenge
for her dumping him after a one-night stand has been jailed for eight
and a half years.
Failed
soldier Aiden Feeney, 24, was so angry at being rejected by Scarlett
O'Connor he paid a teenager £850 to put firelighters through her front
window and set them on fire.
Ms
O'Connor, 22, was thought to be staying at a friend's - but the 5am
blaze woke older sister Lauren, 29, who shared the house and she was
forced to flee for her life as the fire swept through the property.
Miraculously
she escaped uninjured but the blaze severely damaged the terraced
property in a quiet road in Walkden, near Salford, Greater Manchester.
Police
later discovered obsessed Feeney had sent up to 3,000 text messages in
just four days to Ms O'Connor begging her to go out with him after he
obtained her tickets for a music festival.
When
she refused, he talked of 'wasting' Ms O'Connor, made reference to
'ripping her head off' and told one friend he had a 'contact who would
burn down her house for £1,000.'
