Armagh man who set dog on fire set for custodial sentence

A man who set fire to a family's pet dog in Co Armagh has been told he faces an inevitable prison sentence.

23-year-old Andrew Richard Stewart from Craigavon changed his plea to guilty just before the dog's owners were due to give evidence in court.

Cody, a three-year-old Collie, was put down two weeks after the attack in August 2012 after vets concluded she would never fully recover.
