Five years for schizophrenic man who set fire at Skerries house
A paranoid schizophrenic who lit a fire outside a Skerries house he was “fixated on” has received five years' jail with two suspended at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Peter Bradshaw (aged 45) lit the fire in a wheelie bin which caused damage estimated at €1,000 to the house gable and electrical box. He then sat on a wall nearby and watched as neighbours put out the fire.
