A group of wedding guests had to be evacuated after a dad kicked out of comedy club set fire to a hotel
. Daniel Barker, 39, started the blaze after arguing with his girlfriend over sex.
Liverpool Crown Court heard earlier today that the 39-year-old and his then girlfriend, Jayne Armstead, were visiting the city from Lincolnshire. The pair had made the trip in order to celebrate his birthday on August 6, 2022. She locked herself in the bathroom as a result, but Baker began shouting at her. He said: "I'm going to set the place on fire if you don't get out now. You are going to die."
He stated that he then woke up to discover the fire and their room filled with smoke, after which he grabbed his belongings and fled before falling asleep in his van outside. Following the blaze, the entire hotel, including 80 guests of a wedding it was hosting, had to be evacuated in the early hours.
Baker admitted arson being reckless as to whether life endangered during an earlier hearing. Sentencing, Judge Robert Trevor-Jones said: "There may well have been a degree of mutual violence between the two of you, but whatever the case you then sought to intimidate her further by setting a fire.
