Friend of murdered Mary-Ann tells of arson attack

A teenager shot in the head beside her dying friend Mary-Ann Leneghan told a British court today that she had been the victim of a potentially fatal arson attack just a short time beforehand.

The 19-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told Reading Crown Court that less than a month before the murder of Mary-Ann she, herself, had suffered an attempt to burn down her house.
