Monmouthshire man jailed for life for caravan fire murder
Richard Grenfell Thomas, 52, was taken to hospital following a caravan fire, but later died
Smith and Mr Thomas lived next door to each other at a residential caravan park and had been on good terms before it turned into a "somewhat volatile relationship".Three days before the murder the pair had an "altercation" at the Beeches Residential Caravan Park in Magor, Monmouthshire, where they both lived alone.
"He then set fire to the caravan using petrol and then walked away knowing Mr Thomas was injured and incapacitated and unable to get out of the caravan.Mr Jones said fellow resident Jason Pritchard was woken on the night to the sound of dogs barking and thought he saw steam coming from Mr Thomas' caravan.
"He then went over and saw some of the glass on the caravan had been smashed and that the kitchen area was ablaze." Mr Thomas died with burns on most of his body. He also suffered blunt force injuries to the head and chest including six fractured ribs.Mr Jones said: "He said he knew nothing about the fire and suggested Mr Thomas might have taken his own life."
