Three held in connection with Derry petrol bombing

Three people have been arrested over a petrol bombing in Derry that has left a 45-year-old man with serious burns.

The victim was at home in his living room at Ben Varden Avenue in the Waterside on Friday night, when two people smashed the window and threw a lit petrol bomb directly towards him.

He is seriously ill but stable in hospital with 35% burns to his body.

The PSNI are treating the incident as attempted murder.

Detectives are questioning a 44-year-old woman and two men aged 24 and 25.
