Man admits killing sex offender by setting fire to his home

A man has admitted killing a Midland sex offender after starting a blaze at his home. Daniel Martin, 24, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Andrew Heath when he appeared at Birmingham Crown Court yesterday. Heath died at his flat in Chedworth Close, Warndon, Worcester, in December 2011 after Martin set fire to wheelie bins placed by the front door. The blaze quickly gutted the property, killing the 52-year-old who had convictions for indecent assault and gross indecency dating from the 1980s and 90s.
